Organoid Lovers session 2: Cherry Biotech welcomes startups to explore research on mini‑brains.

The second session of the Organoid Lovers was held at Cherry Biotech, in Montreuil, on a 1500 m² platform shared between four companies: Cherry Biotech, 4Dcell, BforCure and Okomera. L2 laboratories, clean room... everything is on site, close to the metro, with another 300 m² available for new players.

🎯 Objective of the meeting
Explore cutting-edge technologies for research on brain organoids: 3D growth matrices, automated screening, ultra-precise control of culture conditions, imaging of living tissue...

🔬 Technologies presented

  • 4Dcell : Organ-in-a-well, to exceed the standards of in vitro research.
  • Okomera : Automated screening of 3D organoids, to accelerate drug discovery.
  • Cherry Biotech : 3D culture solutions validated in industrial R&D.
  • Lutece Dynamics : Optical imaging of living tissue, without fluorophore.
  • Alvéole : First, a 3D cell culture tool adaptable to all needs.

🤝 Beyond science
Discussions also focused on cooperation between startups to strengthen their solidity and on participation in the reindustrialization of France. As Jérémy CRAMER summarizes: “you can only survive if you cooperate...”
