With the University of Montpellier's Innovation Awards just a few days away, take a look at the changing world in the new LumLu podcasts!
The sky's the limit
Monitoring the operational status of pilots using a sensor capable of measuring their brain activity in real time: that is the promise made by start-up Semaxone. A high-flying project aimed at improving safety and performance in civil and military aviation.
High-tech therapies: treatments and entertainment
Healthcare innovation takes unexpected turns when it moves beyond medication. Using music and games, the EuroMov Digital Health in Motion* research unit develops cutting-edge therapeutic treatments for movement rehabilitation.
Ninjalab, the star-studded cryptanalysis
It is a merciless war where good and evil clash with encrypted algorithms to control the best-kept secrets. Since 2017, Victor Lomné and Thomas Roche have chosen to put their skills to work for businesses and research by creating the start-up NinjaLab. Their weapon: cryptanalysis.
Biotechnology made in Montpellier
Prevent, diagnose, treat. Three essential actions in healthcare to improve patient care. A constantly evolving sector where innovation plays a key role. What is the role of academic research in a world dominated by biotech giants and Big Pharma? An essential role, as demonstrated by the companies presented here, which are taking up the challenge of creating new drugs. This is a challenge in a market where, for every 10,000 molecules screened, only one will successfully pass all the 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 from different varieties of quinoa. This innovation kills two birds with one stone: it preserves the biodiversity of quinoa and offers consumers a healthy food product.
BioInspir combines chemistry with ecology
After successfully cleaning up soil using plants that hyperaccumulate heavy metals, Claude Grison and his colleagues at the ChimEco laboratory and the start-up BioInspir are now tackling water pollution.
