You are in industry: five reasons to collaborate with the DSV on your innovative projects

A continuum between basic research and technology


​​The CEA’s Life Sciences Division (Direction des sciences du vivant - DSV) supports and contributes to the innovation of businesses by providing them with its scientific expertise and technologies. It offers a wide variety of services to respond to the needs of the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, biotech, medtech and greentech industries.

The coexistence of basic and applied research within the DSV, as well as transfers between the two, guarantees the technological maturity needed to create industrial value.

In the field of health, the DSV masters all stages of drug development, from identification of therapeutic or diagnostic approaches to clinical research, while proposing tools to monitor clinical trials.

In the field of bioenergy, the DSV is capable of conducting R&D projects extending up to an industrial scale.

 

A cross-cutting program for accelerating the arrival of health technologies on the market

The DSV accompanies this technological maturation by directly acting on its financing. For example, it coordinates the “Technologies for Health” program, which involves all CEA operational sectors. The program singles out ideas that have a strong potential for industrial transfer, in order to facilitate their development and accelerate their arrival on the market. It also accompanies the proof of concept and prototype realization stages, two key steps in the processes of value-creation and transfer to companies.
