Chemistry of porphyrins and corroles is at the heart of our research activities. With more than 25 years of expertise in macrocyclic chemistry (www.icmub.fr), we had several hundred porphyrin and corrole derivatives in our laboratory, mainly dyes or molecular probes developed for health applications that we were looking to develop. We were interested in testing the activity of these compounds in the anti-infectious domain. NeoVirTech was immediately responsive for this project, and with high professionalism, completely met our needs. Their expertise in screening and the speed and quality of the generated data led us to rapidly identify 3 hit compounds in our library as new inhibitors of hCMV as well as pox-viruses. These results were recently published in ACS Infectious Diseases (2 articles) and RSC Med Chem (2 back-to-back articles). 2 patents were also co-filed. Without the help and the strong expertise of NeoVirTech, it would not have been possible to rapidly test and value our library and valorize our work so quickly! It opens new perspectives to our research activities. Many thanks to NeoVirTech for this very efficient and precious collaboration!

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.
