A key event for R&D and innovation
On October 15–16, 2025, Cellura will participate in the Rendez-vous Carnot in Lyon — one of France’s leading events dedicated to research-industry partnerships and innovation.
Visit us at stand V07 to discover how our SoftXS™ technology is reshaping 3D cell culture, combining gentleness, homogeneity, and scalability for the most fragile cells.
A technology born from academic excellence
Rooted in over ten years of CNRS and INSERM research, Cellura has developed a patented platform inspired by the natural rotational dynamics of the Earth.
This geo-inspired principle allows cells to remain in homogeneous suspension without blades or bubbling, eliminating the mechanical stress that limits conventional bioprocesses.
The SoftXS™ bioreactor — the first 3D bladeless bioreactor — provides an ideal environment for the culture of delicate cell types:
Stem cells and iPSCs
Human organoids
Immune cells (NK, T, CAR-T)
Exosomes
Microalgae and microcarrier-based cultures
Validated results from leading research teams
Validated in collaboration with Prof. Annelise Bennaceur (INSERM / CITHERA) and Prof. Ali Turhan (Université Paris-Saclay), our results demonstrated:
100-fold iPSC amplification in 7 days with >99% preserved stemness,
>90% viability for NK cells cultured in 3D,
Full compatibility with Corning® microcarriers, enabling suspension at very low speeds (30 rpm) and shear stress up to 50× lower than in stirred-tank or fixed-bed systems,
Consistent scalability from 1 L to 200 L with identical culture parameters.
These data are detailed in our technical report:
“Microcarriers Suspension Characterization in a Rotating 3D Bioreactor”, Roumezi B. & Detournay O., 2025.
Applications across health and sustainable bioproduction
The SoftXS™ technology unlocks new opportunities in:
Cell and tissue therapy (iPSC, NK, CAR-T, MSC),
Biopharmaceutical and regenerative medicine R&D,
FoodTech, enabling gentle culture of animal cells for cultivated meat and alternative protein production.
Each SoftXS™ bioreactor can be used directly inside a standard incubator, providing:
A compact, plug-and-play system suitable for both research and GMP environments,
Automated scalability,
Highly reproducible and homogeneous culture conditions at every scale.
Building strong scientific and industrial collaborations
The Rendez-vous Carnot fosters collaboration between public research and private innovation.
Cellura will showcase its ongoing projects and partnership opportunities with:
Academic consortia (CITHERA, INGESTEM, I-Stem),
Biotechs and CDMOs seeking to industrialize 3D culture processes,
Clusters and innovation networks committed to strengthening biological sovereignty in Europe.
Our team will be on-site at stand V07, with Dr. Olivier Detournay (CSO) and Baptiste Roumezi (CTO) available to present our latest experimental data and discuss potential collaborations.
