Community research: an integrative and participatory vision of health, a reversal of the clinician/patient relationship, academics and non-academics on an equal footing, and the will to restore empowerment to vulnerable users. 🩺👩⚕️
In 2025, the Belgium-based biotechnology start-up Perseus Biomics introduced DynaMAP (Dynamic Microbiome Abundance Profiling), a metagenomic technology platform designed to deliver high-resolution microbiome analysis. In the same year, the company also launched MetaMAP, an integrated benchtop device that enables DynaMAP customers to perform analyses within their own laboratories. 🧪
Electrochemical processes should be applied on a large scale to reduce our carbon footprint and chemical consumption. That is the guiding principle of Noah Water Solutions. The company has already developed a basic process for wastewater purification and a reactor for industrial use. At present, it is fine-tuning nitrogen removal and developing applications for smaller-scale use. 💧

The ULiège Laboratory of Medical Chemistry team, directed by Prof. Alain Chariot, is essentially dedicated to biomedical research. The laboratory has developed expertise in the dissection of molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying tumour development, primarily in the intestine. Its researchers are also interested in the molecular mechanisms through which patients develop resistance to anti-cancer treatments. Finally, they are also generating ex-vivo ‘mini-guts’ which they use as experimental models to better understand how intestinal epithelial cells differentiate from stem cells. 🧪 👨🔬
Creaflow develops flow-through plate reactors for photo- and electrochemistry that are seamlessly scalable and easy to adapt to specific reaction conditions. “Creaflow emerged as a spin-off from EcoSynth, which had developed a highly performant reactor for managing small-scale chemical reactions, using light or direct electrical current as the activation source instead of heat,” explains entrepreneur Rik Van Meirhaeghe, who acquired the company in 2024. ⚗️👨🔬 💡
