We are glad starting a new Year! But nothing better than assessing what happened along the last one to glance back at the road traveled so far… and looking forward to what’s next!
End of last year, the american legislation has ratified that new drugs no longer need to be tested in animals to receive Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. This is a huge step toward animal-free validation of drugs, but it requires the design of a relevant and more predictive drug Read more…
During the Healthcare Expo organized that take place in Taïwan between the 30th of November and the 3rd of December, our partner Tokyo Future Style Taiwan had a booth and presented BIOMIMESYS® technology. Dr Dar-Bin Shieh stayed a lot of time with our partner to discuss with Joseph and his Read more…
One week later after our business trip in Asia, we are lucky to welcome Pr Dar Bin Shieh from National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan) in Lille on the 16th of November. In the morning, we have been invited in OncoLille, we have presented all our work in oncology field with Read more…
BIOMIMESYS® is a patented 3D matrix reproducing the physicochemical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), different from classical hydrogels used for 3D cell culture. It is composed of native ECM components: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) combined with collagens, adhesion peptides… in the form of a unique hydroscaffold, i.e. exhibiting a dual Read more…
In order to make known BIOMIMESYS technology, Grégory and Nathalie were in Asia in October during one month. The first step was in Japan. We have worked with our partners from AS ONE and JVC Kenwood. We had the opportunity to visit them in AS ONE office in order to Read more…
Industry and academia are increasingly complexifying their in vitro models, not only 3D models but also organs-on-chip (OoC) in their studies. Such systems are needed for putting different tissues into contact, or to take into account flux-related aspects. BIOMIMESYS® being an ideal hydroscaffold™ for 3D cell culture, this webinar aims Read more…
The congress of European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV) took place from 21st to 25th November 2022.
