Technology platforms
The strong partnership policy set in place by the Life Sciences Division ensures better research coordination, networking of skills and optimisation of resources. This policy has in particular resulted in the setting up of technical facilities and centres of excellence.
In vivo imaging platforms
In vivo imaging platforms in the Paris Region. Along with other research agencies, the Life sciences division is complementing the technical resources located in the Paris area (and including the imaging facilities of the Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot in Orsay) with two new imaging platforms, thus taking an active part in the formation of an European centre of excellence.
Platform for biochips
A platform for the production of DNA chips and platforms for the development of new types of biochips.
