ANTHONY BRESIN
Founder of AnBreiL
Anthony Bresin has more than 25 years of experience in the industrial biotechnology field, with expertise spanning fermentation, purification, and process scale-up from laboratory to industrial manufacturing.
He holds a Ph.D. in Industrial Fermentation on hyaluronic acid production from Reims Champagne-Ardenne University (France).
From 2000 to 2018, he served at ARD (Agro-Industrie Recherches et Développements, France), where he successively held scientific and managerial positions, ultimately as Chief Scientific Officer and Head of R&D. During this period, he led programs in fermentation, fractionation, and biopolymer development, contributing to the creation and industrialization of new bio-based molecules and polymers.
He then joined HTL (2018–2023) as Chief R&D and Validation Officer, overseeing R&D programs and technology transfers focused on biopolymers such as hyaluronic acid.
Since 2023, he has been leading AnBreiL, a biotechnology advisory firm providing scientific and strategic support in R&D, process development, and scale-up for companies active in biopolymers and fermentation-derived products.
Prof. François Coutte is a Professor in Microbiology and Molecular Biology at the University of Lille, France. He obtained his PhD in Biotechnology and completed his Habilitation from the University of Lille in 2009 and 2019, respectively. Since 2010, Pr. Coutte has been conducting his research on the production of secondary metabolites of microbial origin at the UMRt INRAE 1158 BioEcoAgro. His research focuses mainly on Bacillus and Pseudomonas lipopeptides and particularly on the different genetic and metabolic engineering strategies allowing their overproduction. He is also co-director of the VALOREEMA industrial chair focusing on the valorisation of agri-resources.
