The 2024 inventors’ prize list, initiated by the French magazine Le Point, has been published. An exceptional jury selected “the 100 leading teams whose research will change our lives“, including Valérie Taly for the start-up METHYS Dx, in the biotech category. The awards ceremony took place at the Paris-Saclay Summit on March 1.
This distinction rewards the efforts of the entire METHYS Dx team, which is developing an innovative diagnostic solution for monitoring cancer patients, using a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to assess the effectiveness of treatments and detect recurrences. Created in 2021 with the support of SATT Erganeo, the start-up capitalizes on over a decade of collaborative work by the MEPPOT (CARPEM team 1 at the Cordeliers Research Center) and SPM (molecular system and programming, Gulliver Laboratory, ESPCI) teams, with the support of their institutions (AP-HP, Université Paris Cité, Sorbonne Université, Université PSL, Inserm and the CNRS).
