Astraveus is a French start-up created in 2016 specialized in the development of innovative instruments for the production of cell and genes therapies.

Cell and gene therapies are composed of living cells with high therapeutic potential such as genetically modified lymphocytes to attack cancerous cells. Those therapies allow to cure incurable cancers and genetic diseases but they are currently too complex and expensive to produce. This results in substantial selling prices per patient, typically between 0.3 and 2 million euros.

Our goal is to revolutionize their production to reach higher performance and best quality standardization than competing approaches, and thus contribute to making these innovative therapies accessible to all. To achieve this goal, we are developing innovative solutions that exploit the performance and precision of microfluidic modules in a fully automated environment.
