Biography
Karsten Haupt studied Biochemistry at the University of Leipzig, Germany. In 1994, he obtained a PhD in Bioengineering from Compiègne University of Technology, France. He then spent several years as a research fellow at Lund University, Sweden, where he worked on synthetic affinity materials with Klaus Mosbach. Back in France he was a researcher at INSERM, Paris, before joining the University of Paris 12 as an associate professor. In 2003, he was appointed full professor of Nanobiotechnology at Compiègne University of Technology, France, where he is now the Head of the CNRS Institute for Enzyme and Cell Engineering. His present research interests include affinity technology, chemical and biosensors, molecularly imprinted polymers and synthetic receptors, biomimetic polymers and nanostructured materials for biomedical applications. Karsten Haupt is also holding positions as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Sonora, Hermosillo, Mexico, at the University of Arizona Tucson, USA, and at Jiangsu University, China. He is one of the founders of the French company PolyIntell (now Affinitech).
