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.

Une étude de neuroimagerie IRM s’est intéressée aux liens entre la connectivité anatomique locale et la cognition sociale chez des personnes présentant des troubles du spectre de l’autisme (TSA).
Ouvrir à toute la communauté scientifique les données d’imagerie cérébrale de primates obtenues dans les laboratoires : c’est l’objectif de la base de données PRIME-DE , créée par un consortium international de 22 équipes.
Une équipe internationale de chercheurs a recouru à la cristallographie pour « photographier » les premiers instants du ballet moléculaire permettant à certaines cellules tumorales de réparer leur ADN après un traitement par radiothérapie.
Quel que soit l’agent anesthésique employé, l’effet d’une anesthésie générale sur le cerveau correspond à une « rigidification » du cheminement de l’information au sein du cerveau.
Plantes et microalgues adaptent leur métabolisme énergétique aux fluctuations de lumière et de nutriments auxquelles elles doivent faire face en permanence. Les réactions du métabolisme étant compartimentées dans différents organites de la cellule, un enjeu majeur est de comprendre les mécanismes de circulation d'énergie et d’information entre ces organites.
In the conscious state, different areas of the brain, even though not physically connected, can be activated simultaneously, achieving a rich repertoire of brain activities. Under general anesthesia, this property is blocked. Regardless of the type of the anesthetic agent, general anesthesia led to a rigid inflexible configuration of information flow within the brain: brain activity is maintained, but is restricted to physical anatomical connections, leaving it without the possibility of generating more flexible information flows.
A CEA research team, headed by Denis Le Bihan, has just used diffusion MRI to reveal the connection between the level of neuronal activity in regions concerned by wake-sleep states in anesthetized rats, and the degree of neuronal swelling in these regions.
A French team has discovered an enzyme which allows microalgae to convert certain of their constituent fatty acids into hydrocarbons using light energy.
On Thursday, 2017 May 4, a giant magnet weighing 130 metric tons will leave the assembly plants in Belfort on its journey to the NeuroSpin research facility at the CEA's Paris-Saclay Center (Essonne).
Two researches from a joint CEA-Inserm-Université Paris Sud-Collège de France unit at the NeuroSpin neuroimaging centre, have just revealed that the brain has a network of brain regions involved in advanced mathematics, as well as simpler arithmetic operations.

CEA is a French government-funded technological research organisation in four main areas: low-carbon energies, defense and security, information technologies and health technologies. A prominent player in the European Research Area, it is involved in setting up collaborative projects with many partners around the world.
