From the bench to the farm: a strategic step for our future researchers!
On May 18th, members of the NVDIAG LabCom team had the opportunity to visit Ferme Pigase near Lyon. This immersion allowed them to concretely visualize a strategic stage of their work: meeting the immunized llamas used for nano-antibody (VHH) production. The biological material provided by these animals is the starting point for the development of our innovative diagnostic tools.
Our three students in training: Ilona Testa (CD19 project), Emilie Louat (CD96 project), and Zoé Jobert (CD42a/CD42b project). Special mention for Lisa Castel-Sames, Research Engineer at AlterDiag, who shared her expertise during this technical visit.
Training the next generation of researchers is a core mission of NVDIAG; We are committed to providing our interns with a comprehensive view of their projects—from the initial biological source to advanced laboratory characterization using techniques such as ELISA, flow cytometry, and BLI. A huge thank you to the team at Ferme Pigase for their warm welcome and for allowing our students to finally meet the « stars » behind their research projects.
