Dr. Matthieu Pesant has been the European NGS Product Manager at Takara Bio Europe since 2017 and manages Takara’s RNA-seq and DNA-seq product range including the market leading single-cell NGS technologies SMART-Seq® and SMARTer® PicoPLEX®.

Prior to joining Takara, Dr. Pesant worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Humanitas Research Center in Milan, Italy, identifying new mechanisms of cellular communicationbetween innate immune cells and cancer cells.

He then moved to the National Institute of Molecular Genetics in Milan, Italy, where he contributed to uncover crosstalks between chromatin epigenetic landscapes and genome conformation underlying a genetic muscular dystrophy in human.

Dr. Pesant obtained his PhD in Molecular Biology at the University of Burgundy, France in 2008, and his thesis involved identifying regulatory mechanisms of oxidative stress and inflammation relevant to cardiac muscle and atherosclerosis.
