BioRICS is a spin-off of the research unit Measure, Model and Manage Bio Responses (M3-Biores), the former Laboratory for Agricultural Buildings Research, of the Department Biosystems of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Starting from research on larvae, mussels, plants and fish the research evolved to real time measurements of responses of animals. It was clear that all living organisms respond in an individual way to the environment and that these so called bioresponses are time-varying since they depend on age, health status, mental status, etc…The research group focussed on techniques and algorithms to monitor and to predict responses of living organisms in real time for each individual at a given moment. M3-Biores has now a staff of more than 20 enthusiastic researchers. It is one of the biggest scientific groups working worldwide in the field of integration of biological responses in the monitoring and control of living organisms (www.m3-biores.com). In March 2006 BioRICS (Biological Responses In Complex Systems) was founded in order to focus on research and product development for human applications only.
