CEA
initiates the first French nanobiotech cluster
in Grenoble
|
CEA (French Atomic Energy Commission)
the major European Technological Research Organisation,
announces the creation of the first French nanobiotechnology
cluster. The official launch was made on September
9th with the signature of a real estate operation
dedicated to host new equipments and research teams
in Grenoble close to the Minatec facilities.
The new cluster, called NanoBio, gather three research
partners: University Joseph Fourier, Hospital of
La Tronche and CEA. A first phase is going to be
funded by local authorities (Metropolitan Area
of Grenoble, Rhone-Alpes Region, Isere Department
and City of Grenoble) for a total amount of 23,5
M€. NanoBio will bring together engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists
and medical doctors to develop new miniaturised tools for biological and
medicine applications: biochips, lab-on-chips, biosensors… These tools
will be used for medical diagnosis, food safety control, environmental
monitoring, etc.
The aim of NanoBio is to foster the technological and economical development
in the bioengineering field, taking advantage of the CEA's 10-years experience
in biochips and bioMEMS research. NanoBio is created in synergy with Minatec,
the 1rst European innovation Centre for micro and nanotechnology. It will
also work in deep connection with Lyon Biopole, a major biotech cluster
dedicated to diagnosis and vaccines.
Instigator of both Minatec and NanoBio projects, the CEA is internationally
acknowledged for its research in micro and nanotechnologies for life sciences.
LETI (Laboratory of electronics and information technologies) has dedicated
a full department (120 persons) to micro and nanotechnologies for Biology
and healthcare, and conducts research projects aimed at technology transfer.
Since 2004, the CEA leads the Nano2Life European network of excellence,
gathering 23 partners in 12 countries and more than 200 scientists. Supported
by the European Commission, Nano2Life is intended to establish the first
steps towards an European Institute of Nanobiotechnology. |
