Participation to a large public-private partnership « BioIntelligence »
This 5-year (2009-14) program aimed at a deep change of the pharmaceutical R&D by applying the principles of systems biology and of product lifecycle management. It brought together a software editor (Dassault Systèmes, leader), four major pharma companies (Sanofi, Ipsen, Servier, Pierre Fabre) and one phytosanitary company (Bayer Crop Science), a bioinformatics start-up (Sobios), and three public bodies (Inserm transfert, Inria, Genopole). F. Kepes represented Genopole for BioIntelligence.
