bioMérieux SA is a French multinational biotechnology company and a leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics. Their expertise spans various fields, including food processing, veterinary science, cosmetology, and pharmaceuticals. bioMérieux has provided strong financial and technical support to our project.
The foundation of one of our schools, INSA Lyon, supported us in multiple ways. They helped us raise funds through crowdfunding and provided significant financial backing for our project.
Da Vinci Labs is a research and startup incubation structure based in Tours, France. Their actions are part of an ecological transition approach. Their interdisciplinary strategy combines quantum technologies, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence to address the challenges of tomorrow.
The university attended by most of our team members helped us participate in the Grand Jamboree through financial support.
The engineering school attended by three of our team members also assisted us by providing materials for running a booth at our school's festival in May.
The association of alumni from our engineering school provided us with financial support and connected us with numerous contacts to promote our project, helping us receive scientific feedback and potential sponsorship.
The Faculty of Medicine at the university where one of our members studied also provided us with financial support.
Laboratory "Microbiology, Adaptation and Pathogenie" UMR5240 provided us with space and materials to conduct the majority of our experiments from April to late September, along with financial support.
GenScript provided us with a $700 discount on all gene fragment orders placed via GenSmart 2.0.
We won a special sponsorship from Cultivarium, which allowed us to communicate with scientists. By chance, we had the opportunity to speak with Dr. C. Gilbert, the lead author of the article discussing coculture for the production of functionalized cellulose.
We were able to synthesize DNA for free, thanks to IDT's generous support.
We received several free SnapGene licenses for our wet lab team members, allowing them to better visualize our constructions.
Promega provided us with free kits and materials that we used in the lab to ensure the high quality of our constructions.
NEB also provided us with free kits and materials that contributed to the high quality of our lab work.
Thanks to previous sponsorship from GeneCust, we were able to synthesize plasmids for free.
Unveil Bio provided us with 10 credits for free plasmid sequencing.
