As Technology Transfer Accelerator Office, Sayens use to collaborate with technological companies  having specific skills needed for our development programs. Thanks to its unique technology and comprehensive platform, NeoVirTech revealed been a highly competent company in antiviral drug evaluation for one of our program. I also really appreciate working with Dr. Franck Gallardo and his team, which were available at every step of the project, brought a strong expertise and a valuable follow up of the experiments.”

We are developing inhibitors of intracellular trafficking pathways that block virus entry into cells. NeoVirTech’s technology allows for precise ranking of sets of analogues according to their antiviral potencies and selectivity indexes.

Working with NeoVirTech was a great experience. Preparatory discussions were rich and efficient, adaptation of protocols to our needs was very successful, antiviral screening of our molecules was done rapidly, and activity reports were clear and informative. The team was always available to answer our questions. We warmly recommend NeoVirTech for the screening and potency assessment of antiviral molecules on designated viruses.

The Technology Transfer Office Aquitaine Science Transfert (AST) aims to accelerate the dissemination of innovations on the market. AST supports innovative concepts from the researcher’s invention until proof-of-concept has been established. For a project of our portfolio, we were looking for a partner to evaluate the antiviral activity of a patented compound on infection and replication of different virus families. We had efficient and productive interactions with Dr Franck Gallardo and his team throughout the project to design the study, plan the execution and discuss about the results. I would highly recommend Neovirtech for antiviral drug evaluation.

Transgene SA is a biopharmaceutical company developing for more than 30 years innovative targeted-immunotherapies to answer unmet medical needs in the oncology and infectious disease fields. We were looking for a rapid and efficient solution to investigate the behavior of our products using high-resolution quantitative microscopy. NeoVirTech’s autofluorescence technology and screening platform allowed us to precisely visualize, understand and compare the behavior of our products directly using live cell microscopy techniques. The beauty and quality of the data they can generate open a new perspective for our activities, boosting up our research and validation processes. Thank you NeoVirTech for this ongoing precious collaboration.

For almost 40 years, InvivoGen had developed and commercialized several hundreds of compounds for innate immunity field. We are interested in testing the activity of some new proprietary compounds in the anti-infectious domain. NeoVirTech was a ‘local’ choice for this project. The technology they proposed combined quantitative and qualitative results in a high throughput screening format. Their expertise in virology, the speed and quality of the generated data led us to rapidly identify new compounds as antiviral.

Neovirtech’s technology platform uniquely allows rapid and accurate screening of compounds against a range of clinically relevant viral pathogens. Dr. Franck Gallardo and his team provide an in-depth knowledge base and an interactive environment for study design, planning and execution. I would highly recommend Neovirtech for antiviral drug screening

Advances in immune suppression allows the grafting of life saving cells and organs between patients. Immune suppression unfortunately also promotes viral infections normally controlled by the immune system making the development of novel antivirals that work under immune suppression an imperative task. The underlying mechanisms causing reactivation or promoting viral replication are often related to dynamic changes in the chromatin status of the viral genome. Working with NeoVirtech gives us the unique opportunity to label viral genomes with the ANCHOR technology and study the dynamic behaviour of individual viral genomes in living cells under different environmental conditions. Understanding how viral genomes respond in living cells is key to understanding and developing novel drug concepts and mechanistic understanding of existing antivirals. Setting up the technology with NeoVirtech was simple, professional and driven by scientific understanding … the start of a great ongoing relationship!

Viral diseases cause significant financial loss in animal production systems. Despite the importance of viral pathogens as primary and secondary etiologic agents in cattle, pigs and poultry, no antiviral products are commercially licensed for use in veterinary medicine. Collaboration with NeoVirTech give us unique opportunity to explore the potential of antiviral therapy in the veterinary virology domain. Among viral animal diseases, we are particularly interested in poxviruses induced diseases of rabbit and poultry (myxomatosis, fowlpox), and labelling of DNA viral genomes with the ANCHOR technology will allow us to rapidly screen available compounds for antiviral significative effects.

Expertise and outstanding skills that rely on R&D of high scientific level.

This company, a true example of dynamism and inventiveness, is a pride for our institute.
