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
On the 5th, 6th and 7th of July the first PhD students Days of the Institute of life sciences Frédéric Joliot were held. In the spirit of the previous PhD students Days that took place each year at IBITECS and I2BM, PhD students and researchers met for three half days to discuss about their work.
Last May, we showed you almost live the extraordinary journey of the magnet from Belfort to Saclay, and his arrival on the 18th of May. What happened later?
Researchers from SB2SM and four other Research Teams (Yale University, Arizona State University, Argonne National Lab and Institute for High Performance Computing, Singapore) have identified a photosynthesis mechanism that protects plants from excess light energy . These results could contribute to the development of more efficient energy systems in new solar technologies.
Deriving from a collaboration between the SHFJ and MIRCen, this work presents a new and original method of quantification of positron emission tomography (PET) images adapted to hybrid PET / MRI cameras, developed by combining the expertise of MIRCen in MRI preclinical and SHFJ expertise in preclinical PET.
As part of an international collaboration, researchers from LI2D (SPI / Marcoule) and University of Warwick have highlighted the long-term benefits of the association between different marine microorganisms. The study published in Nature Microbiology shows that, contrary to what was admitted up to now, these microorganisms are in equilibrium and not in competition for micronutrients, because they form a complementary ecosystem.
The "First international course on PET in Epilepsy", organized by the SHFJ in early June, brought together about thirty international specialists in the field. The challenge was to disseminate know-how widely developed at SHFJ: the pre-surgical localization of epileptic foci by PET in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsies, candidates for resection neurosurgery.
Winfried Leibl (SB2SM) is a member of the steering committee of the MOMENTOM project (MOlecules and Materials for the ENergy of TOMorrow, IRS PARIS-SACLAY, 2017-2020) This project, funded within the framework of the Strategic Research Initiatives (IRS) of Paris-Saclay University, concerns molecules and materials for the energy of tomorrow.
In an article published the 10th of May in Nature Communications, some Research Teams of the Frédéric Joliot Institute (SBIGeM, SPI) discovered that a new histone variant called H2A.J accumulates in human fibroblasts in senescence.
