Last week, the NETVA program - Start in America, supported by France Science, was held in Houston. The program helps early-stage deeptech French startups by offering them a week-long immersion in the US to learn best entrepreneurial practices on the other side of the Atlantic,  build technological partnerships, and develop international prospects. MSInsight was the laureate startup for the NETVA program in Houston. The scientific office welcomed Arnaud Cutivet, the CEO of MSInsight, a healtech startup proposing a novel bioinformatics platform designed to accurately diagnose Microsatellite Instability (MSI) from genomic data with applications in oncology. The healthcare ecosystem in Houston, primarily represented by the Texas Medical Center (MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston Methodist, Baylor College of Medicine), was a great fit. Arnaud Cutivet also met numerous and high-quality key players in their field at Texas Medical Center Innovation, Proxima CRO, French-American Chamber of Commerce - Texas and University of Houston . We extend our gratitude to all those who met with Arnaud, and we hope this marks the beginning of fruitful collaborations.
