Biotechnology from Montpellier
Prevent, diagnose, treat. Three essential steps in healthcare aimed at improving patient care. A sector in constant evolution where innovation plays a vital role. What role does academic research play in a world dominated by biotech giants and Big Pharma? An indispensable role, as evidenced by the companies presented here, which are notably taking on the challenge of creating new drugs. A challenge in a market where, for every 10,000 molecules screened, only one will succeed in passing all stages of testing and clinical trials to reach patients.
Innovating for Biodiversity with Qualinoa
“Combining biodiversity and health in our food” is the motto of Didier Bazile, who has developed a bread recipe using a blend of flours made from different varieties of quinoa. This innovation kills two birds with one stone: it preserves quinoa biodiversity while offering consumers a healthy food option.
BioInspir combines chemistry with ecology
After successfully remediating contaminated soil using plants that hyper-accumulate heavy metals, Claude Grison and her colleagues at the ChimEco laboratory and the startup BioInspir are now turning their attention to water pollution.
