Pierre Nassoy, the laureate of the CNRS 2022 Innovation Medal, and a colleague. CNRS research professor, Pierre Nassoy applies the physical chemistry approaches to living things. At the Photonics, Numerical, and Nanosciences Laboratory (LP2N)1 in Talence (southwestern France), he focuses on future therapies based on stem cells – to treat tumours and Parkinson’s disease in particular – and files an increasing number of patents. Thanks to a CNRS pre-maturation programme, the company TreeFrog Therapeutics is one of the most noted and prize-winning French start-ups of recent times, both nationally and internationally. The company uses its disruptive technology to reliably produce a large quantity of very high-quality stem cells, and just opened a first subsidiary in the United States.

CNRS Images,

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
