About us
Pioneer in organelles for disruptive Drug Discovery programs and public health
Our story
ORIA was founded in 2022 as a spin-off from ENS Paris, emerging from a fundamental scientific challenge: conventional organelle extraction methods strip away native membranes and protein ecosystems, destroying the very properties researchers need to study. Our founders developed a proprietary, purely mechanical microfluidic platform that preserves organelle integrity at industrial scale. This innovation has been protected across 3 patents.
Backed by €2.7M in seed funding, ORIA quickly grew into a globally recognized platform extracting millions of intact, high-purity organelles per hour. What began as a scientific insight has become a Paris-based company backed by world-class collaborators and researchers who share our conviction: functional organelles deserve a place at the center of modern drug discovery.
Our vision
We envision a future where functional organelles become routine resources in laboratories worldwide. Today, organelle extraction and purification remains time-consuming, expensive, and difficult to reproduce reliably from batch to batch. We’re working to change that. By democratizing access to pharmaceutical-grade organelles, we unlock decades of untapped research across drug discovery, disease modeling, and therapeutic innovation.
Our vision is straightforward: organelle-driven research becomes the foundation of a new generation of treatments for neurodegeneration, oncology, immunology, and rare diseases. We believe this shift is not incremental. It is transformative.
Building the organelle ecosystem
We are building a global network of relationships with leading pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and academic institutions worldwide. As a Paris-based company with international reach, we base our success on developing and maintaining genuine partnerships with our collaborators and customers. By democratizing access to functional organelle technology, we unlock research possibilities that were previously confined to specialized labs.
We empower a growing community of scientists to explore organelle biology at scale, advancing discoveries that benefit human health. Together, we’re not just building partnerships. We’re catalyzing a scientific movement toward organelle-driven drug discovery.
