His professional background is as follows: Lecturer (1993-); University Professor (2008-); Hospital Doctor (grafts Sector Hematology), Bordeaux University Hospital (1993-2004); Director of the French national blood bank (EFS) for the Aquitaine Limousin region (550 FTE, 2004-2012), Head of the EFS (French national blood bank) National Training Agency (2014-). His medical areas of expertise are: Hematology, Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants, Cell Therapy, Transfusion. As director of a public institution, he developped skills in management, quality control, total quality management, and project management. Orientation and exploitation of research activities, innovation and societal impacts of research are important current topics of interest in which he proposes to invest time for SMART (as he has been doing in the past 2 years for INSERM U1034).
