Directeur/Membre du Conseil chez TRANSGENE
Profil
La famille Mérieux a plus d'un siècle d'expérience en biologie et développement de tests de diagnostic in vitro. Marcel Mérieux, grand-père d'Alain Mérieux, actuel Président de bioMérieux, fut l'élève de Louis Pasteur. En 1897, il fonda un laboratoire d'analyses médicales à Lyon qui devint le prestigieux Institut Mérieux. C'est dans ce laboratoire que Marcel Mérieux développa les premiers sérums antitétaniques.
En 1937, le fils de Marcel Mérieux, le Docteur Charles Mérieux, prit les rênes du laboratoire au décès de son père. Dans le courant des années 40, il introduisit une technique développée par le hollandais Frenkel - la culture in vitro - qui révolutionna la fabrication des vaccins et conduit à la production de réactifs pour les tests de diagnostic in vitro.
Né en 1938, Alain Mérieux est titulaire d'un doctorat en pharmacie, et est un ancien interne des Hôpitaux de Lyon et ancien élève de la Harvard Business School (PMD).
En 1963, Alain Mérieux créa BD Mérieux, détenue à parts égales entre l'Institut Mérieux et Becton Dickinson, offrant une large gamme de produits pour laboratoires d'analyses médicales. Lorsqu'Alain Mérieux devint, en 1974, actionnaire majoritaire de BD Mérieux, la société prit le nom de bioMérieux.
Alain Mérieux en assure la Présidence depuis cette date. Cette société est aujourd'hui l'une des 10 premières sociétés mondiales de diagnostic biologique.
Biomérieux : Société mondiale dans le domaine du diagnostic in vitro depuis plus de 40 ans, bioMérieux offre des solutions de diagnostic (réactifs, instruments et logiciels) qui déterminent la source d'une maladie ou d'une contamination pour améliorer la santé des patients et assurer la sécurité des consommateurs. Ses produits sont utilisés dans le diagnostic des maladies infectieuses utilisées pour les urgences cardiovasculaires, le dépistage et le suivi des cancers ainsi que pour la détection de micro-organismes dans les produits agroalimentaires, pharmaceutiques et cosmétiques.
La société est présente dans plus de 150 pays au travers de filiales et d'un large réseau de distributeurs. La société est cotée sur Euronext Paris avec un chiffre d'affaires de plus d'un milliard d'euros par an pour un effectif d'environ 6 000 personnes. Alain Mérieux est selon le classement Challenge 2011, la 19ème fortune de France avec 2,4 milliards d'euros.
En 1968, Alain Mérieux prend la Présidence de l'Institut Mérieux et donne au groupe sa place de leader mondial dans le domaine des vaccins, à la fois en médecine humaine et en médecine vétérinaire. Il assure cette présidence jusqu'en 1994, ayant en 1985 pris le contrôle de l'Institut Pasteur Production en France et réalisé en 1989 l'acquisition des Laboratoires Connaught en Amérique du Nord.
De 1991 à octobre 2002, il assure également la présidence de Transgène, société de biotechnologie spécialisée en thérapie génique.
De 1986 à 1998, il a en outre assumé la fonction de Premier Vice-Président du Conseil Régional Rhône-Alpes, en charge des Relations Internationales, du Développement Economique, de la Recherche et de l'Enseignement Supérieur.
Alain Mérieux est le président de Mérieux Alliance qui rassemble 5 entreprises internationales dans le domaine de la santé : bioMérieux ; Transgène ; Silliker ; ABL et Shanta.
Alain Mérieux préside également la Fondation Mérieux, fondation familiale, reconnue d'utilité publique, qui œuvre dans les pays en développement pour renforcer les capacités de lutte contre les maladies infectieuses.
