Claude Vauchier is graduated from the Ecole Nationale de Chimie de

Montpellier in 1979 and in management in 1981.  In 1982, he was employed at the Research Centre Laboratory (LCR) at Thomson-CSF in a chemical group. In 1984, he joined the CEA-LETI where he was firstly in charge of the development of new chemical compounds for liquid crystals displays applications. From 1989, he worked in the field of chemical microsensors development (methane catalytic microsensor for domestic application, thin film semiconductor gas sensor, portable infrared ethanol spectrophotometer). From 1997, he was in charge to organize and manage a Laboratory on Microsystems for Biology trageting to merge microtechnology and biology in a biotechnology program. In this frame, he was involved in developments in the field of DNA chips (low cost CMOS based DNA chip, oligonucleotide grafting thanks to electrochemistry using copolymerisation of oligopyrrole or covalent reaction on silanized substrate, in-situ syntheses DNA chips...), lab-on-a-chip (microfluidics in microchannels or in droplets, EWOD device, Point of Care chip), cell chips and microsystem for in vivo applications. He is currently in the direction staff of the Division Technologies for Biology and Healthcare, in charge of Programs on Lab-On-Chips for Biology and Chemistry since the beginning of 2004. C.Vauchier is a Member of the Executive Organization Committee of the

MOEMS MEMS Conference (SPIE Photonics West / Conference

Cochair on Microfluidics, Biomems, & Medical Microsystems).
