This subdomain aims to strenghten the region’s position in the field of innovative (bio)therapies, with expertise recognised in the value enhancement for health of molecules from agricultural and marine resources.
Research forces are composed of 3 research units, 3 biological health resource centres, 200 public and private health care establishments, and many compagnies that are collaborating in numerous structuring projects such as clusters dedicated to biotechnologies and health.
The objective is to make Brittany a region recognised in the fields of prevention , especially acting on determinants linked to the environment, diet, physical activity, well-being at work or addictive behaviour, in the “One Health” approach.
