About us

BIOASTER is a Technological Research Institute (IRT) that is dedicated to the study of microbiology and infectious diseases, tackling diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. We offer a new approach to R&D, by integrating the principal scientific and technological disciplines, to better share the risks of innovation.

Business offer

Since its inception in 2012, BIOASTER has been continuously investing in technologies aimed at overcoming technological obstacles relating to samples and advanced data analyses. In practice, this involves:

  • * Providing access to every type of clinical and biological samples,
  • * Providing cutting-edge scientific and technological expertise in the fields of microbial genetics, protein engineering, and bacteriology (aerobic & anaerobic),
  • * Managing the selection, identification, phenotyping, and molecular characterization of bacterial strains,
  • * Prototyping and generating integrated solutions in the fields of biosensors, immuno-monitoring, microsystems and microfluidics, and optics and computational microscopy,
  • * Customizing systems, such as sample processing, liquid handling, signal generation and amplification, signal processing, and data analysis to achieve the objectives of the project,
  • * Applying cross-cutting data management approaches all along the value chain between raw data and actionable knowledge.
  • * deploying innovative data science & artificial intelligence techniques to perform integrated analyses of complex, multi-source data for the benefit of systems biology and translational medecine studies.
