It’s the art of observing life… to innovate.

Nature is a laboratory of engineering, adaptation, and resilience, perfected over 3.8 billion years. And beneath the surface, it still holds countless hidden solutions.

Did you know that marine sponges might hold the medicines of the future?

This is the focus of the GENESIS project, led by Camille Clerissi and supported by Pure Ocean since 2023.

Sponges are sessile animals that produce active molecules in the shadows to defend themselves and adapt to marine bacteria.

The goal of GENESIS is to identify these compounds and analyze their antibacterial activity—in other words, their antibiotic potential! By understanding their mechanisms, we may soon replicate them in the lab and create the medicines of tomorrow.

Another living model, essential for innovation!

Fascinating, isn’t it?

This is exactly what Biomim’expo 2025 celebrates, the major event on biomimicry and bioinspiration, on Tuesday, October 28 at the Palais du Pharo in Marseille.

📅 Come meet us, discover our projects, and join our three ocean QUIZ sessions at 11am, 2pm, and 4pm at our booth B02b!
