The proximity of these instruments with the university campus of Orsay, the Nuclear Physics Institute (IPN), Nuclear and particle physics (IN2P3), the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) laboratories in Gif-sur-Yvette (in particular in the fields of neurosciences and NMR), Institut d'Optique and the schools of engineering, as well as the partnerships formed long ago within the SHFJ between CEA, CNRS, INSERM (The French Institute of Health and Medical Research), Public Assistance to the Hospitals of Paris (AP-HP), the universities (Paris XI and Paris VI in particular), the schools of engineering ("Grandes Ecoles": ENST, Polytechnique, ENS, Supélec, Centrale,…) federate human skills and technical resources.

 Created 40 years ago, the Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot (SHFJ) is now at the heart of the Institut Fédératif de Recherche (IFR 49: Neurofunctional Imaging) which federates teams from several research agencies.
- The center in Fontenay-aux-roses (CEA) is planning the construction of a gene therapy platform (ImaGene) and man-robot interface that will complete the SHFJ and NeuroSpin installations. - CIERM (Hôpital de Bicêtre) is developing MRI methods for clinical purposes, in particular in the cardio-vascular field and very high resolution MRI. It trains a large number of imaging clinicians in the Paris Region. - The Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital complex (AP-HP, French Muscular Dystrophy Association AFM) already has strong links with SHFJ with very active collaborations in neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry. It plans to obtain a MRI instrument operating at 3 T. This complex also has a Magnetoencephalography (MEG) research center (LENA) of the highest level and is currently testing Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). - INRIA (The French National Institute for Research in computer science and control), INRA (The French National Institute of Agronomic Research), The Pasteur Institute and or the Evry Genopole also are potentially interested in the development of this technical platform. Established near the SOLEIL synchrotron project, NeuroSpin will benefit from the planned infrastructures (service areas, housing...) to welcome students, researchers, new research teams or for the establishment of industrialists interested in these activities. Patent applications, transfer to industry, development of small and medium-size industry responding to the need for aid in imaging (design of protocols, creation of data banks, optimization of data acquisition, data processing,…), teams of hospital technical platforms or transient collaborators will certainly arise from NeuroSpin. NeuroSpin will help make the "Saclay plateau", in the south of Paris, a privileged place for the development of research centers, major physical and biological instruments as well as an important industrial, scientific and technical network. |
