NETVA 2017 – A week of immersion / networking in Boston
One week of immersion in Boston, thanks to the NETVA program, coordinated by the Consulat de France in Boston, allowed us to benefit from the consulate network, as they introduced us into the biggested US ecosystem for Biotechs, including VCs, the local teams of Business France and of the French Tech Hub, preclinical CROs, and lawyers. We also met with renowned neurologists, emergency room physicians and neurosurgeons, as well as with neuroimaging specialists from Boston’s main hospitals (MGH, BU Hospital, Beth Israel). These early academic feedbacks were very encouraging on the potential of the therapeutic option that we develop.
More information about stroke and first care is needed
This is the conclusion of a survey led by the French stroke foundation on 986 people in October 2017. The questionnaire, which is available on the web, shows that one out of three people do not dial the emergency telephone number when facingstroke symptoms.
As a reminder, STROKE requires FAST action

R&D site opening in Caen
We are proud to announce the grand opening of our R&D site in Caen, at the Cyceron Center, where the Op2Lysis technology was invented. We also took the opportunity to show the laboratory to Estelle Louet, our first employee, who should join the team by December 2017 to work with us while pursuing her doctoral studies for a PhD level.
kick off of the Op2Lysis Crowdfunding campaign on WiSEED – Fundraising #1
As a result of a long and hard work, which was led over these last months and allowed a revision of the terms negotiated for the O2L-001 license, as well as gaining non-dilutive fundings (i-LAB and loans on trust) and numerous prizes and recognitions, Op2Lysis initiated its crowdfunding campaign on the WiSEED.com platform.
The objective of this fundraising is to fund the feasibility of the industrial production and formulation of O2L-001 over the next 12 months. At the end of this first period of our development program, we will have sufficient information on production, purification, and formulation to initiate the regulatory preclinical steps of O2L-001 development, with a compound able to liquefy an intracerebral hematoma with one single injection. Scale-up and preparation of the regulatory studies will require a second fundraising for 2019.
