The funds will be used to finance the Sarcob project, which is aimed to improve the nutrition of the elderly and to prevent and treat sarcopenic obesity with natural substances.
The project is also involving the organizations like Metabrain Research which provides preclinical research services.
It also involves internationally renowned interdisciplinary university research teams from the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, AgroParisTech and the National Agronomic Research Institute (INRA) in Clermont-Ferrand.
Biophytis founder Stanislas Veillet said they are delighted to have obtained this funding for a project that is aimed at both preventing and treating an old person’s pathology, an area where there are many unmet needs.
"The fact of being installed at Biocitech helps us in developing our relations with the industrial and financial partners involved in this project," Veillet said.
