BACKGROUND
Our academic research developed over 20 years reliable, sensitive and automated methods to detect DNA damage. Cell Environment was created to transfer these techniques into the clinics.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCTS / SERVICES / TECHNOLOGY
Cell Environment developed a high throughput genomic cytogenetic approach based on a very small amount of samples. This process associates telomere quantification to the analysis of chromosomal aberrations and the detection of chromosomal instability.
This approach is a break with the existent techniques. In order to transfer this approach in the clinics, we developed the kits of telomere and centromere staining as well as the software for automated analysis.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS / COLLABORATIONS / HIGHLIGHTS
The first flagship products resulting from this innovation are
A validation of the approach was performed against clinical cytogenetics. A patent has been filed. The company has been approved as an R&D provider since 2017.
COLLABORATIONS SOUGHT
Cell Environment has started the industrialization and commercialization phase and we are looking for partners for the distribution of kits and funds to make our solution more relevant.
