BENJAMIN CRESSIOT

Dr. Benjamin Cressiot is an Associate Professor at CY Cergy Paris University (France) since 2019.

In 2012, he received his Ph.D. in biophysics from Evry Paris Saclay University (France) on protein transport dynamics and unfolding through protein and solid-state nanopores.

He then joined the University of Notre Dame (USA) as a postdoctoral fellow to work on the secretion mechanism of autotransporter proteins using the nanopore method as a model.

In 2015, he joined Northeastern University (USA) as a postdoctoral fellow, where he engineered a new protein nanopore from a virus capsid for biomolecule detection.

He is now working on battery parasitic species detection, biomarker detection, and design of new nanopores for biosensing applications.
