Tools for life sciences

Where technology meets life

Leverage biological information to offer personalized therapies: imagine medical treatment customized according to your genetic makeup, health history, gender or even lifestyle!

Gri3D® (SUN bioscience), standardized organoids

Our combination of engineering skills, biological understanding and cutting-edge infrastructure enables us to push the boundaries of life sciences technologies. We bridge disciplines from precision manufacturing to digitalization to develop disruptive biosystems by bringing the patient-in-the-lab and the lab-on-the-patient. From design to technology biovalidation in our biosafety level 2 laboratories, we use the latest advances in cell microsystems, biomonitoring, and lab automation.

Research & development

Our solutions bring together emerging micro-technologies and the biotech/pharma industries to narrow the gap between applied sciences and industrialization.

Cell microsystems: Organoid-on-plate and single-cell technologies

  • Enable the standardization and parallelization of microphysiological systems on plates and chips
  • Develop solutions to standardize the production, sorting, positioning, maturation, and testing of complex 3D models, which are a game-changer for the personalized medicine, drug discovery, preclinical drug testing, and regenerative medicine
  • Master our cell biosystems to develop novel cellomics technologies, enabling data analytics at the single cell level


Biomonitoring

  • Create low-cost solutions to measure biomarkers in body fluids and access biological data in real-time, anywhere
  • Develop electrochemical, mechanical, and optoelectronic sensors for application within diagnostics (in vitro and on-body) and cell cultures
  • Harness proprietary low-cost fabrication technologies for sensing, sample preparation, and interface layers

Lab automation

  • Achieve reproducible and valuable results in a broad range of applications, from cell culture systems to diagnostics, through reliable handling and sample preparation
  • Work with smaller sample volumes enables faster results, with fewer materials and reagents consumed
  • Free users from tedious manual work increases scalability, standardization, and reproducibility


Artificial intelligence

  • Extract insights from multi-modal omics data in drug development, biotech and diagnostics
  • Develop interpretable and explainable machine learning algorithms to enhance adoption in clinical and regulated applications
  • Merge omics data with vital sign monitoring and biosensing data for a comprehensive approach to personalized healthcare
