Hervé Cottet
Hervé Cottet (49) is full professor at the Max Mousseron Biomolecules Institute (IBMM) in Montpellier (France). Since 2012, he is the head of a Research Department at the IBMM. His research work concentrates at the interface between separation sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, physical chemistry and polymers. He is developing CE methodologies and Taylor Dispersion Analysis (TDA) for the characterization of biopharmaceuticals (including vaccines), (bio)polymers, proteins, polyelectrolytes, drug delivery systems, dendrimers, nanoparticles, colloids and bacteria. He is both interested in fundamentals (mobility modeling, electrophoretic behavior) and practical (or industrial) applications of CE and TDA. Graduated from the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et Chimie Industrielles de Paris (ESPCI), he completed his PhD in analytical chemistry in 1999 at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris (ENSCP-PSL, France) on Capillary Electrophoresis (CE). After a post-doc at the Technical University of Eindhoven (the Netherlands), he joined the University of Montpellier in 2000. He has co-authored more than 140 scientific articles dealing with CE and/or TDA.
