Cyclotron Reunion Indian Ocean biotechnology platform

CYROI is a public interest group managed by the University Hospital, the
University of Reunion Island and the Northern Inter-Municipal Association
(CINOR). It manages a 4,500 m2 biotechnology technical support platform,
funded by Europe, the Regional Council, the French government, Departmental
Council and CINOR.

CYROI is based in Saint Denis at the Technopole science park, close to Roland
Garros international airport. It has a pharmaceutical unit, academic research
teams and associations working on specific topics (emerging infectious
diseases, metabolic diseases and promotion of biodiversity). It also provides
services to public and private clients and conducts research and innovation
projects with its partners.

The CYROI is divided into three units with combined services :

  • INNOVATION UNIT : cb-tech by Cyroi, private services
  • RESEARCH UNIT : research teams, public services, R & I partnerships
  • ISOTOPE UNIT : radio-pharmaceutical and radio-chemistry production,
    small animal imaging

  • research domains

    Research topics focusing on :

    • Emerging infectious diseases
    • Metabolic diseases (diabetes, obesity, hypertension, etc.)
    • Promotion of biodiversity

    Pharmaceutical production
    CYROI has secured National Medicine Safety Agency approval as an official
    pharmaceutical body. The radio-pharmaceutical production unit produces
    radio-pharmaceuticals used in cancer imaging through positron emission
    tomography. Fludeoxyglucose (18FDG) is issued daily to the university
    hospital’s nuclear medicine department and covers public health needs in
    the region of Reunion and Mayotte.

    Small animal radio chemistry and imaging
    Radio chemistry is used to insert a radionuclide in a study molecule. After
    the radio-identification phase, these radioactive molecules are validated
    in vitro, before being injected in vivo into small animals, after approval of
    the experimentation protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee.
    CYROI has a cutting-edge pre-clinical imaging tool using positron emission
    tomography and single-photon emission tomography.

     

  • Collaboration

    CYROI responds to scientific partnership requests in Reunion,
    or internationally, based on suitable research projects. These
    projects involve CYROI support teams. Projects are subject to
    research and innovation partnership agreements.

  • research arrangements

    The CYROI group (GIP) hosts research teams :

    • based on priority topics set by the Scientific Committee : infectious
      diseases, metabolic diseases and promotion of marine and terrestrial
      biodiversity ;
    • as part of the annual or three-yearly hosting arrangements with academic
      or public bodies, which define the hosting conditions.

    All the resident research teams are on www.cyroi.re :
    PIMIT DéTROI ASTRE (CIRAD) MIVEGEC-TIS (IRD) APLAMEDOM

    The CYROI Group (GIP) provides public and private services. Its strength lies in its ability to understand customer needs, to employ the means required and to adapt to changes during the project.

    The analytical unit can define compounds of interest or carry out physical-chemical analyses to extract, detect, identify and quantify organic molecules in complex matrices, etc.

    Activities provided by the BIOR unit include :
    bibliographic studies, scientific and technological monitoring, characterisation of extracts (sensorial and physicochemical analyses); phytochemical, spectroscopic and
    chromatographic analyses (equipment is available and the methods approved on our platform) for profiling and characterisation of samples (composition and active content);
    toxicological analyses to determine cytotoxic effects ;in vitro biological activity tests(cytotoxicity, anti-microbial effects, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-enzymatic effects) on acellular or cellular models ; microbiological analyses, study of the stability and conservation of cosmetics products (listing and detection of non-specified and pathogenic microorganisms on finished products or on raw materials, test for accelerated ageing, challenge-tests), etc.

    The fields of activity for animal research projects conducted
    in the animal facility with wide-ranging : trials to test the efficacy or toxicity of medicines and other biological or chemical substances, quality controls on food, pre-clinical and medical research into chronic metabolic diseases (diabetes, atherosclerosis /atherothrombosis, strokes, chronic kidney failure), human medical research into infectious diseases (without using pathogens), research into diagnosing illness using medical imaging.

    PLEASE NOTE : the CYROI is a public interest group (GIP) approved by the Ministry of Research, allowing companies requesting services from CYROI can benefit from research tax
    credit at a higher rate.
