The company was founded by 3 former researchers in microfluidics, we became a unique mix between a private research lab and a start-up incubator. Since 2011, we have created a dozen innovative companies in fields related to microfluidics and NBIC (nanotech, biotech, informatics and cognitive sciences). All those companies now make up the NBIC Valley and we work in close collaboration with them.

Our goal? To set the basis of NBIC technologies in France in order to help our country take the train of the next biotechnological revolution.

You will develop a droplet generator on-chip to reproduce cells compartmentalization, and study how the phospholipidic composition of the interface impacts the chemical exchanges occurring in this model cell. Then, in close collaboration with another PhD student, you will develop a microfluidic platform dedicated to the control of physical and chemical parameters to recreate the chemicals reactions at the basis of life.

About you:

Your background: A master degree/level in “hard science” (whether it is chemistry, physics, microfluidics, software…)

Your personality: You like to think “outside the box”, to be put out of your comfort zone. You would like to take up the challenge of doing a lot with little.
