The DRF at the CEA assemble approximately 6,000 scientists since January 2016.
Researchers at CEA-BIG and IBS have developed inhibitors of a protein involved in the virulence of Gram-negative bacteria and have deciphered their mode of operation.
By combining two NMR techniques, researchers from IBS track certain furtive, yet essential states of a protein's functioning. A first application has already been found in joint and bone pathology.
Scientists from IRFU have made the unexpected discovery that a majority of stars from the same cluster spin around aligned axes. This extraordinary discovery from observation of fifty stars in our galaxy calls to revise the initial conditions commonly adopted in star formation models.
A team including researchers from IRAMIS was able to elucidate a singularity of long chain polymers in the vicinity of glass transition. This question of basic research was solved thanks to neutron scattering in particular, and may find applications in the shaping of plastics by melting and molding.
A team from the CEA François-Jacob Institute has demonstrated the preclinical efficacy of three vaccine candidates against chikungunya.
