Biotechnology from Montpellier
Prevention, diagnosis, treatment. Three essential actions 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 biotechnology giants and Big Pharma? It plays an indispensable role, as evidenced by the companies featured here, which are taking on the challenge of developing new drugs. This is a significant challenge in a market where, for every 10,000 molecules screened, only one will successfully pass 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 and offers consumers a healthy food option.
