Reuniting agriculture with the environment
All modern agriculture is built on varietal selection based on cultural routes that ignore the structure and biology of the soil. Like humans, the microbiome of plants is essential to their normal functioning.
​
BioIntrant integrates this notion into the development of its probiotic biostimulants. The plant-soil-microorganism approach considers the microbiome as a fundamental element in the installation, growth and yield of the plant. Thus, BioIntrant's probiotic biostimulants will increase the soil's ability to withstand intensive agriculture. This capacity is achieved by structuring the soil to allow the development of phytobeneficial microbial communities. This new environment gives the plant the ability to better withstand the various abiotic stresses imposed by the environment.
BioIntrant integrates more than 30 years of scientific expertise with its co-founders who combine agronomy, pedology, microbial ecology and bioinformatics.

Our platform
BioIntrant offers an innovative and technological approach to increase the efficiency of identifying bacterial strains, the active ingredients of its biostimulant and biocontrol products. Thanks to genomic analysis techniques cross-referenced with expert databases set up by BioIntrant, the best candidates for targeted actions are identified.
Our team
Renaud has over 30 years of international experience in the life sciences industry. Before founding BioIntrant, Renaud was the founder and CSO of TBE (1998-2001) and Libragen (2001-2004). Solicited by shareholders, he became the CEO/CSO of Libragen (2004-2013) until 2013, when he sold the company to the Swiss cosmetics group Induchem, now Givaudan. After the incorporation of the company to the group in 2013, Renaud left Libragen to develop an operational consulting activity allowing him to be involved in many innovative projects for industrials and research centers such as INSERM and CEA.
Renaud obtained a PhD in microbial ecology from the University of Lyon/UC Davis (1997) and an Executive MBA from EM-Lyon (Lyon Business School) in France in 2000.
Renaud is a guest lecturer in the field of biotechnology and technology transfer at various universities and engineering schools. He is the author of more than 30 scientific papers and 10 patent applications.

PhD-MBA
Founder and CEO
Passionate about microbiology, Nicolas obtained a PhD in microbial ecology applied to biotechnologies under the supervision of Dr. Wafa Achouak (CEA/LEMiRE) and focused on microbial fuel cells. He was thus able to develop a scientific expertise in this field but also organizational and managerial skills. Having largely participated in the setting up of this theme within the laboratory, Nicolas was not only involved in the organization of the laboratory necessary for his research, but also in the training of the staff in this theme. He was co-leader of a collaborative program financed by the ANR, which he successfully completed, showing his abilities in project follow-up and management, the respect of specifications and the dissemination of results.

Joris is a PhD student in genetics and bioinformatics in partnership with Biointrant and the Biosciences and Biotechnologies Institute (BIAM). Having started his work on the identification of genes involved in the establishment of an actinorrhizal symbiosis, he took the opportunity to learn programming in order to combine bioinformatics, mathematics and biology. It is at the laboratory of Microbial Ecology of the Rhizosphere and Extreme Environment (LEMiRE) that he was able to continue his training with the study of bacterial metabolome and metagenome of the rhizosphere, supported by Mohamed Baraka, Philippe Ortet and Catherine Santaella. It is with this expertise that he started his thesis aiming at exploring the genome of the so-called PGPR bacteria in order to set up tools for predicting bacterial functions.

Justine is a bioinformatician with a master degree in bioinformatics and genomics. The two years spent at the Laboratoire d'Écologie Microbienne de la Rhizosphère et de l'Environnement Extrême (LEMIRE) of the CEA Cadarache, first as an intern and then as a bioinformatics engineer, gave her access to a significant amount of data from bacterial strain sequencing technology. Under the supervision of Mohamed Barakat and Philippe Ortet, she was able to learn how to use and develop tools for the analysis of massive genomic and proteomic data, to store this information in databases and to extract relevant information from these databases.
