Our R&D Projects

Bio-Diamond

The BIO-DIAMOND project stands as a pioneering pilot initiative showcasing the potential of organ-on-chip technology to expedite the market entry of drug candidates in the “discovery” and “pre-clinical” phases, specifically focusing on Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

The project, in collaboration with NETRI, has garnered recognition and financial support through the government-funded “Innovations in Biotherapies and Bioproduction” call for proposals under the France 2030 framework.

BrioFlam

This collaborative project with Plant Advanced Technologies (PAT) and the IMoPA-CNRS laboratory at the University of Lorraine aims to discover new plant-derived anti-inflammatory compounds, with a special emphasis on bryophyte group plants.

Selected by the Grand Est Region and the State, this collaborative research initiative is backed by a total budget of 1.2 million euros.

STROKTURA

STROKTURA, Stroke for the Future, aims to find innovative solutions in brain imaging applied to preclinical models of stroke, with the purpose of testing future therapies for ischemic strokes in humans. This project, led by our team of experts in collaboration with BB@C, with scientific and technical support from PhIND, ESR3P, and CYCERON, is financially supported by FEDER and the Normandy Region.
