Fabien Balme interviewed by Planète Ingénieur
27 March 2026
Fabien Balme was interviewed by Planète Ingénieur in March 2026. The conversation is in French and lasts 29 minutes.
He sets out why encapsulating fragile molecules such as RNA is a key industrial challenge. He then explains how millifluidic supercritical CO₂ gives full control of particle size in a range where microfluidic equipment is hard to scale.
The interview also covers the three years of R&D that came before the patent, and the path from that patented process to a machine that is ready to use.
He mentions the support of Région Sud along that path.
