Organoid Lovers: maxi-brains united around mini-brains

Last night, Brain&Mind and the DIM C-BRAINS had the pleasure of welcoming, at BrainMakers' Garage, the best regional experts in the Life-Tech to discuss the latest advances in the culture of brain organoids.

🎯 A clear objective
The “mini-brains” promise to grow neurons in 3D, to assemble them to analyze their dynamics and better understand the effect of drug candidates. These models could also help reduce the use of laboratory animals. But to keep that promise, they need to rely on techniques heavy-duty and predictive — a project that is still in progress.

🌟 Three startups in the spotlight

• Cherry Biotech : An innovative system for finely controlling 3D cultivation conditions, already proven in industrial R&D.
• Lutece Dynamics : An advanced optical technology to observe the dynamics of intracellular organelles without fluorophore.
• Alvéole : A versatile solution for 3D cell culture, adaptable to the specific needs of each user thanks to the Primo device.

🤝 An ecosystem in motion
This meeting illustrates the richness of communities Brain&Mind and DIM C-BRAINS, which bring together startups, researchers and businesses. And as always, discussions continue around blinis and hummus... sometimes the best catalyst for the emergence of new projects.
