Technological developments
Developing more targeted, effective and personalized healthcare solutions means that technology is now an integral part of an R&D program.
As a health product development company, a solution provider, a CRO or a CDMO, you are looking to expand your partner ecosystem to help you to reimagine the technologies to integrate in your solutions, your services or R&D process or by implementing disruptive solutions using emerging technologies.
As a Technology Research Institute, we integrate the engineering sciences by developing technological tools or systems in the fields of biology.
You benefit from a tightly integrated team of biologists, physicists and engineers capable of optimizing technology solutions with a very high degree of multi-disciplinary design complexity. Specialists will be brought together to address your questions and needs. This team will elaborate and implement a tailored project plan to ensure timely and efficient delivery of expected outcomes.
We cover all area of intervention in technology design and development, i.e.:
- prototype, iterate and validate various aspects of a system, including biology and physics;
Our case study: Multiway
- co-develop prototypes by integrating partner technological building blocks;
- evaluate new prototypes or technologies (due diligence, set-up specifications, recommendations, beta testing);
Discover our case studies: Covert, AllTest
- validate or extend the field of application of an existing technology.

We work at the intersection of physics, engineering, statistics, numerical and biological sciences, designing new technologies for your development of diagnostic, therapeutic or broader life science solutions, focusing in particular on the following applications:
Omics & BioAnalyics
Omics are today in the heart of R&D and may need to be part of your technological development. Based on our expertise in omics technologies, we can help you validate your new instrumentation, tool or method, at all steps of the omics workflow, including sample preparation, bioanalysis or bioinformatics.
Likewise, if you need to validate your field of application or explore new ones, you will benefit from our SMART Omics strategy in the design and implementation of relevant omics protocols.
Discover more in our case studies: HeatStab, Covaris, InsightCell and Metagenomics.

Cell biology
Your R&D pipeline may require isolating, identifying and characterizing bacteria or pathogens, modeling biofilm, characterizing immune-host response, testing vaccines/drugs in vitro.
We can develop, build and apply organ-on-chip systems that better mimic the in vivo cellular environment. Our microfluidic expertise and technology are the cornerstone for adapting, developing, validating or implementing single cell technologies that enable rapid, reliable and deep characterization and isolation of cells.
Advanced optical system applied to biology
We can combine robust sample preparation with advanced optical methods in integrated systems. We successfully optimized Raman spectroscopy and Holographic microscopy in prototypes to image and monitor single bacteria changes (morphology, phase, Raman signature) over time.

Perform both custom & industrialized data analysis & integration
Most of life science technologies produce large volume of heterogeneous and complex data, from structured to unstructured ones (e.g. images).
We have designed our own catalog of bioinformatics methods capable to handle the best the main types of those data. These methods, once fully benchmarked against both simulated and real-world dataset, are pipelined. The resulting ready-to-run workflows offer cost-cut and reduced time-to-results perspectives for a direct application and benefit to your data.
Similar approaches address statistical & machine learning-centred data integration and translate your most complex questions in terms of MoA or signatures into actionable results.

Build digital solutions to smooth data analytics & exploration progress
Advanced algorithms and treatment pipelines originated from bioinformatics and data science may be embedded into digital solutions and appliance, which thus offer augmented user experience (UX) in terms of data tracking, task automations, results visualization and interpretation.
We apply the state-of-the-art core technologies of our software engineering platform running in DevOps context (e.g. Continuous Integration) to design, then implement, your custom Web-platforms addressing final issues in terms of decision-support/making or hypothesis making/validation.
Our proposal is to deliver an initial prototype (e.g. technical & functional specifications, data modeling, software development, tests & user acceptance) to be converted into a final product for internal or commercial applications.

Bioprocessing
Bioproduction quality monitoring is often ensured by measurements of a limited number of standard variables (e.g. oxygen consumption, pH variation, or measurement of certain metabolites). To improve production yield or avoid yield loss, to design online and real-time quality control bioprocesses (for proteins, monoclonal antibodies, as part of an autologous or heterologous cell therapy workflow), we develop your customized technologies for optimized and continuous control.
They are combining in silico approaches based on digital twins allowing the simulation of metabolic processes during bioproduction, with the identification of biomarkers in optimal conditions or stress through the generation of longitudinal multi-omics data.
