SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATIONS
February 2026Gustave Roussy
ALATYR and Gustave Roussy investigate the effects of simulated microgravity on colorectal cancer tumoroids.
ALATYR is conducting a collaborative study with Gustave Roussy, Europe’s leading cancer research and treatment centers, to investigate the effects of simulated microgravity on colorectal tumoroids.
This collaboration aims to determine how simulated microgravity modulates colorectal tumoroid proliferation, morphology, and gene expression, with the objective of uncovering previously unexplored molecular pathways and potential therapeutic targets.
April 2026Servier
ALATYR explores simulated microgravity as novel experimental approaches in cancer research in collaboration with Servier.
ALATYR conducted a joint study with Servier, an independent international pharmaceutical group governed by a foundation, to investigate the impact of simulated microgravity on pancreatic tumoroids (3D cancer cell models).
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most lethal solid malignancies, with limited therapeutic options and few validated molecular targets.
This collaboration aimed at exploring how simulated microgravity conditions influence the phenotypic consequences of PDAC and validate a novel therapeutic target in pancreatic cancer tumoroids.
June 2026Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell
ALATYR and I2BC evaluate the effect of simulated microgravity on protein crystallization.
ALATYR is collaborating with I2BC (Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell) to examine how simulated microgravity affects protein crystallization and whether it can offer advantages over conventional 1g conditions.
Obtaining high-quality protein crystals remains a major challenge in structural biology, as crystal size, homogeneity, and structural order directly influence downstream structural characterization.
This collaboration focuses on comparing protein crystallization under simulated microgravity and standard gravity conditions to determine whether altered gravitational conditions can improve crystal formation and quality.
