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...
Within the Institute, the "Funding Research and Technology Transfer" team is at your disposal to identify the scientists and the skills you need to set up a joint project, to define the terms of a collaboration contract or study. Whether you are an academic, a SME or an industrialist, our team informs and advices you about the possibilities of consortium assembly, technology transfer, patent licensing or use of our platforms. The team is also at the disposal of the researchers of the institute to accompany them in achieving their valorization objectives.

A team from I2BC@Saclay, in collaboration with the CNRS (ICMMO, UPSud and ISM2, Aix-Marseille University) has shown that the use of a reversible electron acceptor, able to accept and transfer an electron, in place of a sacrificial electron donor optimizes efficient and clean photocatalysis reactions for the production of organic compounds of interest.
Researchers at BIAM and I2BC@Saclay, in collaboration with Japanese colleagues from Okayama University and Ehime, have characterized in a cyanobacterium a minor protein that diverts part of the energy from photosynthesis to secondary metabolic pathways. This discovery is promising to exploit these metabolic pathways in a biotechnological process of bioenergy production.
Researchers from Pasteur Institute, in collaboration with seven research teams, including SPI (LI2D/Marcoule), developed and evaluated the efficacy of several vaccine candidates against the virus responsible for Lassa haemorrhagic fever, endemic in Western Africa. They identified one of them as being the most effective, likely to quickly enter clinical trials in humans. Results are published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
A new phylogenetic analysis of the Orange Carotenoid Proteins (OCPs) family, responsible for photoprotection in cyanobacteria, coupled with a functional study, was conducted by a team from I2BC@Saclay. This is the first functional study of the ancestral OCPX which, when compared to OCP1 and OCP2, revealed the molecular determinants that govern the photocycle of these proteins and in particular the fundamental role of the linker connecting the two domains of OCPs.
