To carry out their activities, Research Teams of the Frédéric Joliot Institute for Life Sciences have developed high-profile technological platforms in many areas : biomedical imaging, structural biology, metabolomics, High-Throughput screening, level 3 microbiological safety laboratory...
All the news of the Institute of life sciences Frédéric Joliot
As part of a collaboration with MIRCen (Institute of Biology François Jacob) and SBIGeM, SCBM researchers have developed functional micellar nanovectors capable of targeting a population of cancer cells.
The first CEA functional genomics symposium was held on April 4-5. The meeting, led by the CNRGH (National Center for Research in Human Genomics), took place on the CEA site in Fontenay-aux-Roses. Many researchers from the Frédéric Joliot Institute were invited.
Why are we aware of certain visual stimuli and not others? An international study, involving Stanislas Dehaene's group from NeuroSpin, provides answers.
Cell biology uses fluorescent labeling, an essential technique to follow the life of the cell. But fluorescent proteins have their limits, which researchers from IBS and I2BC @ Saclay (SB2SM) are trying to repel.
The 20th edition of the Brain Awareness Week at NeuroSpin, from March 12th to 16th, was marked by a record number of visitors attending conferences and visiting the department. This success, also present at the national level, shows the growing interest of the public for neuroscience and hopes for advances in brain research.
Researchers from SCBM, in collaboration with Paris-Sud University and INSA Toulouse, developed the first general method for tritium and deuterium labeling of complex molecules with thioether-type motifs (including sulfur atom). This method allows rapid access to tritiated or deuterated molecules used in the pharmaceutical industry for in vivo monitoring or the biological assay of substances of interest.
On the 15th of March, the CNRS awarded the silver medal to Ghislaine Dehaene-Lambertz for her research on brain mechanisms of infants and young children in learning.
Two Research Teams from SIMOPRO and SCBM, in collaboration with Texas Biomedical Research Institute and Jilin University, showed that anti-ricin compounds Retro-2, discovered at CEA during researches against bioterrorism, inhibit two families of viruses important for public health (Ebola and Marburg filovirus and enterovirus EV71). These results broaden the antiviral spectrum of Retro-2 type compounds.
