This partnership will promote the scientific, technological, economic and industrial synergies between INRA and NewVectys in animal biotechnologies and their applications in animal health and well-being, as well as human health.
INRA and NewVectys will reinforce their cooperation by sharing their know-how and complementary strengths to develop research programmes, specialised infrastructures and technological tools in the benefit of animal biotechnology and its applications to serve human health.
In order to strengthen the implementation of the partnership, NewVectys will set up an R&D team specialised in animal biotechnologies at the INRA Research Centre of Tours.
The partnership will also enable the organisation of seminars and symposiums for national and international scientific teams in order to promote translational research, from basic research to the development of innovative human and veterinary therapeutic solutions.
INRA’s research aims at ensuring healthy and high quality diets, competitive and sustainable agriculture and a valued and preserved environment.
