Organoids are three-dimensional structures made of cells, which can be derived from stem cells to mimic the structure and function of real organs. They are useful tools for studying human development, disease modeling, drug screening, and personalized medicine. Recent advancements in organoid research have focused on improving their complexity and Read more…
We are happy to welcome the next Molecular Devices’ Imaging User Meeting here in our laboratories in Lille! We hope it will be maintained in person. For sure it will be a pleasure to participate in the great event, after the last one which took place in Leiden in 2020. Read more…
Just before Covid-19 pandemic crisis widely spread to France, we attended the User Meeting organized by Molecular Devices in Hilton Garden Inn Leiden (Oegstgeest, Netherlands). We enjoyed the programme, gathering a variety of topics but with high content analysis/screening as a common technique to answer diverse scientific questions. On the Read more…
We will give a presentation next week (on Tuesday, 10th of March 2020) at the High-Content Cellular Imaging User meeting organized by our partner Molecular Devices, which will take place in Leiden (Netherlands). It is a great pleasure for us to attend the meeting, and to talk about the applications, Read more…
Are you curious about confocal microscopy and the advantages of spinning disk? This article from Teledyne Imaging explains the technology with really simple words.

It will take place next week in Rennes congress centre (Couvent des Jacobins), on the 22nd and 22rd of October. Our stand will be on Eurasanté Pavilion (Level 1 Read more…
Our study director Elodie really enjoyed Vitafoods last week in Geneva, and the welcome she had on the different booths she visited along the three days! The show was very impressive, with a wide variety of exhibitors (more than 1.000 companies) and more than 20.000 visitors! Elodie spent much time Read more…
We will be at Vitafoods Europe 2019 next week in Geneva. It’s a big opportunity to discover our services in nutraceticals and dermocosmetology. This year Vitafoods Europe will focus on sustainability, it’s why we will emphasis the presentation of our completely physiological BIOMIMESYS® hydroscaffold for 3D cell culture. We will Read more…
Our study directors Elodie and Pierre-Jean will attend “HI Europe” in Frankfurt next week. We cordially invite you to discuss with them, they will be happy to present our imaging services related to nutraceutical testing! We are equipped to test from one to thousands of ingredients on any of our state-of-the-art Read more…
Since the liver is responsible for the selective uptake, metabolism and excretion of xenobiotics, this organ is highly predisposed to drug-induced toxicity: this essential function is the primary reason for the failure of pharmaceuticals during drug development (Ref 1.). Cholestatic and hepatocellular injuries are two of the most severe manifestations of Read more…
I was really happy to be invited in SIBS 2017 in Zurich last week to present our work on 3D cell culture in phenotypic screening and our use of disruptive technologies in our process (augmented reality and virtual reality). I presented our collaborative work with Dr Karim Si-Tayeb, researcher from Read more…
The leading lights in drug discovery research across pharma, biotech, academia and the vendor community !
We tried light sheet fluorescence microscopy in Bordeaux
All these emerging technologies and data analysis systems promise interesting discoveries in the near future.
Visualisation of the interactions between astrocytes and neurons in living animals.
I was present at the last congress ELRIGfr in Brussels. It was a strong exchange place with interesting presentations around robotics. It is always really interesting to see examples of innovative automation which give really robust results.
Join us for the next ELRIGfr conference in Brussels, the 14th & 15th of october.
Thomas Kirchhausen, Eric Betzig et al. publish an article in Sciences about SIM (structured illumination microscopy) and the observation of moving molecules inside cells. The incredible spatial and time resolution give the opportunity to see for exemple proteins which pass the cell membrane.
In this article, is reported both cell and animal imaging onAlpha-synuclein (αSYN) aggregation, a pivotal role in the Parkinson disease
Leica Microsystems has launched Leica Application Suite X (LAS X), an easy-to-use imaging software for life sciences covering widefield, confocal and super-resolution platforms. LAS X introduces new features for image acquisition, processing and analysis while maintaining established principles of its predecessor software LAS AF, such as the workflow-based approach. Curated Read more…
