Summary of the interview

Developing a drug is a long and expensive process and can be a brake to innovation. Guillaume Leboucher has co-founded Labtoo, an accelerator of R&D, in order to link more efficiently all R&D stakeholders.

COVID-19 has strongly impacted the biotech ecosystem as evidenced by a recent survey conducted by Labtoo. Our platform has rapidly evolved with this sanitary crisis, by referencing many research projects on COVID-19 and who among the research community was able to work on those projects.

This platform dedicated to the coronavirus issue is still operating to this day, and Labtoo has supported a dozen of research projects against COVID-19 so far.

 

 

The opinion of Arnaud Magnin, Director of Alumni Relations at Sorbonne University

"The alumni of Sorbonne University also fight against COVID-19! Guillaume Leboucher explains here how his start-up Labtoo has adapted its platform to help research projects dedicated to the fight against the coronavirus. We are proud to have such innovative, supportive, and mobilized alumni in response to the pandemic issues!"
