BIORCELL 3D

This project consists of financing expenditure of staff specifically recruited for the project, indirect costs associated with such expenditure, depreciation costs of scientific equipment and scientific services. This is a collaborative project between Biopass and Biomarkers, small R & D companies located in Riom (63) and Clermont Auvergne University. This project concerns the “Development of cancer cell lines and three-dimensional (3D) cell lines into bioreactors for preclinical and clinical applications”. Its objective is to: development of tumour and/or 3D cell lines; mass production of these bioreactor lines; and the use of cell lines produced in preclinical (“Cytotoxicity/Drug Effectiveness Screening”) and clinical. At present, the main problem of cell industrialisation is large-scale production capacity. Indeed, 95 % of production is in the form of 2D cultivation and yields are infinitely too low to deal with projects starting industrial production. It is necessary to acquire know-how and mastery in 3D production in order to feed the market and thus open up a new scope in the field of cellular therapy and/or screening of medicinal products.
