About PsyoCell
PsyoCell is a Quebec-based company founded in 2025. Specialized in holographic microscopy, a cutting-edge technology in microbiological research, it builds on work conducted at Laval University and the University of Lausanne to develop a test that aids in the diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
This spin-off originates from a neuroscience laboratory specialized in quantitative phase analysis, where multiple techniques have been developed. Each member involved in PsyoCell has received extensive training on these unique imaging systems and is now an expert in this technology.
