Dr. Shukla translated fundamental sperm-swimming research from a mouse model to a human model, building the foundation for Beezbiotech's sperm-selection technology.
Research into sperm motility begins, using a mouse model to study swimming behaviour through microchannels.
An MSCA-IF fellowship from the European Commission funds the extension of this navigation study into a human model — achieving deeper insight into tooling that mimics rheotaxis and thermotaxis.
Beezbiotech is officially founded in Rennes, France.
Incubated via Le Poool and Biotech Santé Bretagne, the lab prototype for EVA technology was initiated and a patent was filed. Love money was secured through Dr. Fassini.
Capital is raised through stakeholders to advance EVA's biological validation. The lab prototype was validated through the RSM-1 and Inno R&D programmes.
A Horizon Europe (MSCA-PF) grant is secured for MicroBeaCh (chemotaxis study); the team expands as Dr. Mehar Un Nissa joins Beezbiotech, which is also admitted to Le Village by CA. Patent protection extends to the EU, US, and China.
A pre-seed financing round closes, reflecting strong belief from our business angels in our technology and leadership. The French patent for EVA is granted, and prototype validation expands beyond Rennes.
Credit is secured from Bpifrance. Dr. Arnaud Maury and Mr. Omar Saubry join the team. The industrial prototype is ready and EVA continues toward pilot-batch validation. See what's next →
Every stage of EVA's development — from prototype to patent to biological validation — has been backed by public and private partners who share the same conviction: better selection changes outcomes.
raised since founding, across public grants, regional credit, and private capital.
Public and private partners across Brittany and Europe have supported EVA at every stage.
