L2M QC Spring 2025 | Biosynthèse innovante de CBD (Cannabidiol) : Production durable à partir de microalgues génétiquement optimisées

Nous proposons une solution innovante et respectueuse de l’environnement pour produire du Cannabidiol (CBD), une molécule reconnue pour ses nombreuses applications thérapeutiques. Aujourd’hui, la production de CBD repose principalement sur la culture de la plante de cannabis et sur des procédés d’extraction chimique, des méthodes coûteuses, gourmandes en ressources naturelles et parfois polluantes. Grâce à […]

L2M QC Spring 2025 | Sparx Genomics

Leveraging large-scale genetic data for identifying novel therapeutic targets. Developing a new drug takes an average of twelve years and costs over a billion dollars. This exorbitant cost is largely due to the high failure rate in drug development. In fact, more than 90% of drugs tested in humans will never reach the market. In […]

Uncovering the genetic basis of adaptation during the course of rapid experimental evolution in nature

Nature is experiencing an ever-changing world where dramatic environmental changes require species to adapt rapidly to new conditions. As a result, understanding when species can rapidly adapt and persist has become crucial to ensuring the preservation of vulnerable populations such as freshwater ecosystems. The current project addresses our limited understanding of the parallelism of adaptation […]

Identification of novel immunomodulators from Heligmosomoides bakeri

Parasitic worms make molecules that block their hosts immune responses, leading to chronic infections. The molecules, called immunomodulators, block immune responses to the worms themselves and have more general effects on the immune system. A small number have been characterised and can interfere with different immune pathways. Research is ongoing to develop them for managing […]
