Alexandre Leclercq
Deputy Director, National Reference Centre Listeria & WHO Collaborating Centre Listeria, Institut Pasteur, Paris
Chairman, European Committee for Standardization (CEN TC463) – Food Chain Microbiology, CEN, Brussels

Alexandre Leclercq is Deputy Director of the National Reference Center Listeria and the WHO Collaborating Center Listeria and a member of the Unit of Biology of infection at the Institut Pasteur. He is also Chairman of CEN TC463, which deals with the microbiology of the food chain. With more than 32 years of experience in food safety, food chain microbiology and public health, he has coordinated a major European Commission mandate for the international validation of 15 CEN/ISO microbiological reference methods and has contributed to French, European and international standards in the field of food chain microbiology.

He was a scientific on-call at the Biological Emergency Response Unit of the Institut Pasteur, where he was directly involved in managing biological crises and providing rapid scientific expertise in critical situations. He also served as a WHO expert during an outbreak in South Africa and is a FAO/WHO JEMRA expert.

A passionate educator, Alexandre Leclercq has taught food microbiology at both the Université Catholique de Louvain and the Lille Institut Pasteur. He is a member of several national and international committees on food safety and microbiology and has acted as a technical assessor for accreditation bodies throughout Europe in several technical fields (EN ISO 17025, 17043, 17034, 15189). He has also been a judicial expert on food safety in France and is a member of the editorial board of journals (IJFM, JFP, Frontiers, Food Analytical methods).

DR. Yacine NIA is deputy head of Staphylococcus, Bacillus and Clostridia unit, responsible of National Reference Laboratory for Coagulase Positive Staphylococci (CPS) and deputy director of the European Union Reference Laboratory for CPS. He started his research experience on contamination and metals’ speciation in the environment. Since 2013, his research activities are in the field of enterotoxin detection in food matrices by ELISA and mass spectrometry methods. He took part in standardization activities as coordinator of the working group 30 dedicated to the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxins by mass spectrometry. Finally, he is involved in French and European Union projects dealing with the development of analytical tools to characterize bacterial toxins.

This first symposium will focus on Staphylococcus, Bacillus, and Clostridium. The scientific program will also cover regulatory, normative, scientific and analytical developments related to foodborne bacterial toxins as well as the challenges still to be met.

The Scientific committee is pleased to present the FBTIS 2025 Program.
