Who is NETRI ?

Based on 10 years of scientific research, NETRI has developped a unique know-how in designing multiple organs/organoids on chip by integrating disruptive building blocks into the same microfluidic devices, while maintaining industrial production stantards compatible with pharma industry equipments. Thanks to our patented technologies, we are capable of manufactuing prototypes and validate their biological function using rodent or human cells. Our unique infrastructure allows us also to scale up chip production for mass production.
Our standard or customer-inspired devices are designed to accelerate the development time for new treatments by :

Translating human physiology into organ on chip with high throughput industrial capacity
Ensuring reproducible readouts for mode of action exploration, including axonal transport, growth, regeneration and axotomy, synaptic toxicity, viraland protein propagation, organoids and electrophysiological recordings
Developping robust, automated and parallelised organ on chip technologies applicable in industry, with medium to high throughput capacity, reliability and repeatability, using validated and standardised tools and methods.

Who founded NETRI ?

Thibault Honegger
CEO & Co-Founder

He graduated as an engineer from the Ecole Centrale of Nantes (France), and received his MS in Biotechnologies and his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Grenoble Alpes University (France). He was a post-doctoral fellow at the Voldman lab at MIT for two years where he developed and investigated axonal guidance using contactless forces to design neural circuits. He then joined CNRS as a principal investigator to lead the microfluidics neuro-engineering team. He published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers and is the inventor of 8 granted patents. He co-founded several startups as Peerus in 2015, Linkio in 2015 and Smart Force Technologies in 2016. In 2018, he co-founded NETRI.

Florian Larramendy
CTO & Co-Founder

He received his MS degree in Engineering of Embedded Microelectronic Systems and his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Toulouse University. He was a post-doctoral fellow between the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo (Japan) and the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK), University of Freiburg (Germany) for three years, where he developed smart microprobes, tools for 2D/3D tissue engineering and flexible 3D microfluidics. He co-authored 10 peer-reviewed papers and is the inventor of 3 granted patents. In 2018, he co-founded NETRI.
