Raphaël Hopfner, PhD

Scientific Director and co-founder

When he co-discovered the human protein UHRF1 (Hopfner et al., Cancer Res. 2000), the idea emerged in Raphaël Hopfner and co-worker’s mind to develop a cancer diagnosis marker screening platform based on the one-Hybrid system. His encounter with Philippe Funfrock was the turning point which resulted in the foundation of ProteoGenix. This highly experimented PhD scientist heads our Research and Development Laboratory and has been involved in the production of more than a thousand of proteins since ProteoGenix’s creation. His impressive mastery of proteomics, antibody and protein development, purification and immunology techniques makes him our main scientific and technical advisor. Raphaël Hopfner’s insatiable appetite for understanding how things work easily explains his life science’s career choice, but also on a more personal level his passion for new technologies.
