MEDICALIP : Vers un dépistage rapide et aisé du cytomégalovirus

Depuis la mise en place de la vaccination contre la rubéole, l'infection par le cytomégalovirus (CMV) est devenue une des causes les plus fréquentes d'infection

congénitale. Cette dernière peut induire des expressions cliniques tardives et de graves conséquences neurosensorielles chez les nouveau-nés.

Un dépistage rapide et aisé au lit des nouveau-nés représenterait une avancée majeure par rapport aux techniques utilisées aujourd’hui.

C’est le but du programme MEDICALIP qui vise à étudier la conception et les performances d'un microsystème embarqué de dépistage de cette infection chez les nouveau-nés.

Le financement ANR "Technologie pour la Santé" accordé en 2007 constitue la phase de recherche technologique et biologique initiale. Il a permis la mise au point d'un prototype opérationnel de détection du CMV.

FEMTO-ST, le CHU de Besançon, l’UMR INSERMUniversité-CNRS 1053 de Toulouse ainsi que les entreprises Statice et Alcis sont partenaires de ce programme.

Une présentation de ce projet qui aura lieu le :

mardi 7 décembre à 14h30

Salle Lumière

Temis Innovation

18 rue Alain Savary

25000 Besançon

et sera suivie d'un cocktail vers 16h00

Lors de cette présentation les différents partenaires interviendront afin de préciser leur intérêt pour ce type de projets, ce qui permettra de faire un focus sur la manière dont la recherche multi-partenariale dans le domaine du dispositif médical innovant est organisée en Franche-Comté.
