Biom’@xSciences and technologies is a pluri-science research axis aiming at developing smart devices able to understand (as fully as possible) a living system under study. This understanding should lead to the determination of behavior laws that, through prognostic approaches, allows anticipating the evolution of these systems with the ulterior motive of personalizing the therapeutic strategies.
This program is fueled by the wide disciplinary spectrum of the FEMTO-ST Institute, in particular in micro and nano-technologies, robotics, informatics, automation, optics, biomechanics, proteomics and e-health. The goal is to solve scientific and technological biomedical obstacles as well as to develop new paradigm in order to tend to a trans-disciplinary vision of research in health domain.
Biom’@x researchers are not only already recognized at the national and international level through their disciplinary work, they also benefit from a strong interaction with Besançon’s University Hospital (in particular the Clinical Investigation Center CIC1431), the biology and medicine research local centers, higher education units, especially in the biomedical and micro techniques fields, and theiindustry, in a privileged “Research-Translation-Transfer” environment in Franche-Comté.

Example of key project: SmarTTransfuser, an automated point-of-care transfusion safety system
Before each transfusion of red blood cell concentrate, a final ABO compatibility test is carried out at the patient’s bedside on a piece of card and interpreted visually. Despite this ultimate test, transfusion accidents still occur due to group incompatibility and/or human errors, which can be lethal. In order to improve this test, we have developed a specific device based on microarrays for the validation of a smart and safe transfuser in the context of critical transfusional situations.
This miniaturized device incorporates a biochip to analyze ABO compatibility in order that the hemagglutination reaction of red blood cells with IgMs in solution is replaced by specific capture by concentration of IgMs on microarrays. Results indicate that a specific immunocapture is obtained with globular concentrates and with different whole blood groups. Smarttransfuser is a smart device developed in collaboration with the French Blood Transfusion Center of Bourgogne Franche-Comté and Besançon University Hospital for the optimization of an ultimate test prior to transfusion at the patient’s bedside.
