The scientific possibilities arising from our research and discoveries are limitless.
Our teams of scientists join forces to unravel the greatest mysteries of life. The CI²B integrates quantitative methods and innovative approaches, using cutting-edge technological platforms, to better understand the functioning of living organisms, from a single molecule to their organization into complex cellular systems. We conduct in-depth research that explores bacterial physiology and the discovery of new antibiotics, the structure of macromolecules and gene/protein regulation, the cellular composition of the brain and computational neurosciences, the organization of our organs and tissues, and more. The scientific possibilities arising from our research and discoveries are limitless. We openly share our data, ideas, and tools with the world to accelerate progress and unlock the full potential of our breakthroughs.

The creation of CI²B has revitalized our community.
“The creation of the Institut Courtois d’innovation biomédicale embodies a bold ambition, bringing about a real cultural change: that of breaking down the silos between our departments and forging a strong, shared vision for fundamental research. It is this unique combination of scientific excellence, technological daring and collaboration that makes the institute a transformational lever for our faculty and a pillar for our research ecosystem.”
