Health Podcast: A Scientific Partnership for Bacterial Culture with ON BOARD

19 June 2025 Filières Biothérapies Share :

AER BFC, in collaboration with the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region, is proud to have supported the latest episode of the “ON BOARD” podcast, produced by ON HEALTH. This new episode highlights a major scientific research initiative: Bacter EV Booster.

An Ambitious Research Project Serving Public Health

The Bacter EV Booster program is led by a public consortium of prestigious institutions and coordinated by the Joint Research Unit for Food and Microbiological Processes (UMR PAM), affiliated with Institut Agro Dijon, the University of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (UBFC), and INRAE.

The primary objective of this project is to industrialize bacterial culture at a microscopic scale. This technical breakthrough is intended to eventually enable the development of targeted biotherapies for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases.

The Link Between Agri-Food and Health

In this podcast episode, Professor Laurent Beney, Director of UMR PAM, explains in clear terms how microorganisms play a key role at the intersection of agri-food and health. While bacteria and other microorganisms have long been studied for their impact on food quality, they are now emerging as major contributors to the development of innovative medical therapies.

The Bacter EV Booster project perfectly illustrates this convergence of food science and medical innovation, leveraging bacterial cell culture to create breakthrough treatments.

A Strong Commitment to Biotherapy in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

This podcast reflects the commitment of AER BFC and its partners to supporting applied research and strengthening the biotherapy sector in the region. It also showcases the strong synergies between laboratories, economic stakeholders, and healthcare professionals working together to advance science for the benefit of patients.

We extend our sincere thanks to our partners for their support: the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region, TEMIS Technopole, SANTENOV Dijon Bourgogne, and PMT – Pôle des Microtechniques.
