Expert Profile
Experienced in the management of ***** research and development groups for more then 20 years. He started his career in developing electronic low power circuits, exploring polarization effects in the first dual chamber cardiac stimulators, and advanced towards leading projects in the Vascular and CardioPulmonary area. He is strongly directed towards solutions and applications in the medical device field, based on the platform exploration and development of broadly applicable technologies. Moreover, Vincent is experienced in the legal and regulatory interpretations of medical device regulations and implementations of relevant quality systems. Vincent is an active networker, with academic and industrial partners to set-up of programs, also supported by subsidized programs.
