Laboratoire Genoscreen

Expertise

An expertise in the genomic characterization of microorganisms

As an international specialist in microbial genomics, GenoScreen develops fast and precised solutions for characterizing, tracking and typing isolated microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, yeasts, etc.) and analyzing complex microbial florae:

  • Scientific and technological services with a high level of expertise.
  • Research under contract.
  • Specialized training.

These advanced analytical strategies address a wide range of research challenges in the fields of healthcare, cosmetics, the environment, agribusiness, academic research, biotechnology, and soil science: they identify, track, analyze, and characterize microorganisms—whether at the individual level or within microbial communities—to understand their positive and negative impacts on the health, safety, and well-being of humans, animals, and the environment.

Examples of projects developed by GenoScreen

  • Development of a genomic characterization process for genetically modified bacteria
  • An analysis of the impact of a molecule designed to protect the intestinal microbiota from the effects of antibiotic treatments.
  • Measurement of probiotics and other food complements’ impact on the digestive microbiota of certain farm animals, with the goal of accelerating their development.
  • A study of a balanced microbial flora reestablishment.
  • A study of skin creams impact on the cutaneous microbiota (with GenoBiome® Skin),
  • Tool development of microbial florae metatranscriptomic analysis

Training Courses

  • Engineering for the characterization, typing, and genotyping of microorganisms,
  • Engineering approaches for the structural and functional analysis of metagenomes,
  • Bioinformatics and biostatistics.
