For a long time, science has been divided in different disciplines. Now the walls are coming down: Skills and technologies from fields like biology, engineering and digitalization are coming together to lift health care and life sciences to the next level. CSEM is positioned in the middle of this new megatrend called bioconvergence.
«Bioconvergence is transforming health care and biotech industry, development and manufacturing», say Samantha Paoletti & Gilles Weder, Co-Heads of Research & Business Development for the Life Sciences Technologies at CSEM.
The interdisciplinary collaboration between different fields of science and technology will open the door for innovative solutions for personalized healthcare, Biotech and pharmaceutical research. «These new applications will be made faster and more affordable through standardization, parallelization and artificial intelligence as we transition from manual to automated workflows.»
Advantages of the bioconvergence approach for the economy
- Individualized solutions precisely tailored to each patient’s needs
- Faster and more affordable tests and therapies thanks to automation, parallelization and AI
- More standardized, more reliable results in test environments using human material like organoids
- Advanced diagnostics to detect diseases earlier
- Sustainability for environmental management and sustainable practices.
- Less animal testing (promoting 3R principles and avoiding future legal issues)
CSEM provides the perfect ecosystem for bioconvergence
At CSEM «all the ingredients for systematic collaboration and interdisciplinary projects are already in place» says Alexandre Pauchard, CSEM's CEO.
Our expertise in cells and body fluids is complemented by the activities of CSEM Digital Health which focuses on the development of medical wearables to prevent diseases, monitor at-risk patients, and enhance behavioral changes.
Put together, people, experience, know-how and facilities add up to a perfect ecosystem for bioconvergence for the healthcare sector.
