Chris Coppin grew up in Brussels, Belgium. He received his education in Boston, at MIT and Tufts University, earning degrees in physics, cellular physiology and medicine. He developed a strong interest in scientific instrumentation and automation while investigating the biophysics of molecular motors at UCSF. Dr. Coppin then applied his skills in high throughput research automation in the biotech and pharma industries before moving into medical devices. For the last five years, Dr. Coppin has been leading the research department at Medtronic Heart Valves, comprising scientists and surgeons in laboratories across four continents. His team is developing cutting edge technologies for tissue engineering and automated device testing. To contend with the flood of scientific data produced by automated research instruments, Dr. Coppin’s staff relies entirely on Electronic Lab Notebook technology. |
