Research activities of the Institute in biomedical imaging is carried out in NeuroSpin and in the Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot (SHFJ). It concerns the different imaging modalities (very high magnetic field MRI, PET scan, PET scan, optical imaging) and is based on two axes:

Research activity in the field of diagnostic and therapeutic innovation is carried out by the two departments of Medicines and Technologies for Health and NeuroSpin and the Service Hospitalier Frédéric Joliot (SHFJ). Based on complementary expertise among the Institute (organic chemistry, radiochemistry and associated imaging, molecular protein engineering, mass and omic spectrometry, immunoanalysis, biomedical imaging, clinical research), this research is based on two axes of innovation:

The Institute research in Integrative Biology of the Cell is carried out by I2BC@Saclay Department. They aim to understand cellular functioning in all its complexity, from molecular and cellular levels to the whole organism in normal and pathological states and in stressed conditions ("the cell in all its states") and to apply these skills for technological purposes ("from understanding to imitation"). Different model systems are used, from prokaryotes to unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes.
