Novalis Biotech Incubation seeds biotechnology and life sciences related companies.
We welcome innovative concepts in healthcare and aim to support their development already at the state of incorporation. Our goal is to support smart and small ideas that create added value to patients, caregives and all stakeholders.
Our core competence lies in the interaction between bioinformatics, genomics and digitalization in life sciences. We strongly believe in applying innovative technology to advance prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of a disease.
We focus on early-stage start-ups, and support their evolution by providing funding, sharing our professional and academic connections, and help to shape the business strategy in order to create value for all stakeholders.
Fertiga (www.fertiga.com) is a spin-off from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) on the basis of research carried out over the past 10 years within the VUB and University hospital of Brussels (UZ Brussels). Our objective is to become a major player in improving fertility treatment outcomes. We improve efficiency of IVF by analysis of gene expressions in cells surrounding the egg cell. Our goal is to reach ‘one child with one try’.
