Funding & TTO

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.

  • SPI in the ATRACTion consortium

    Coordinated by the Imagine Institute for Genetic Diseases, the ATRACTion program is based on a consortium of 11 academic and industrial partners, including SPI (DMTS), and aims to develop a precision medicine for patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases associated with primary immune deficiencies.

  • Launch of AROMA

    AROMA, a FET-Open H2020 project, aims to develop the methodology necessary for the optimal operation of the future 11.7 T MRI being installed at NeuroSpin. This 5-year project, coordinated by Nicolas Boulant (NeuroSpin), with an overall budget of 3.6 million euros, involving six partners from five countries representing academia and industry, started on January 1, 2021.

  • Amazing discovery: Variovorax, a bacterium that lives in the heart of a working nuclear reactor!

    Researchers from I2BC and SPI (DMTS, Marcoule), in collaboration with CEA Grenoble and the Belgian nuclear research center, discovered, by using two meta-omic approaches, living bacteria in the core pool of the CEA Paris-Saclay research reactor, Osiris, in operation, thus opening up perspectives for the discovery of new radioresistant species.

  • Depression and gut microbiota: the endocannabinoid system makes the connection

    A study led by the Institut Pasteur and involving CEA-Joliot has shown, in a mouse model, that a modification of the intestinal microbiota caused by chronic stress is accompanied by modifications of the metabolome which induce a defect in the signaling pathway for endogenous cannabinoids in the hippocampus, which may explain the mood disorders observed.

  • Decompensated cirrhosis: involvement of amino acid metabolism in systemic inflammation

    A European study involving CEA-Joliot provides the first overview of the amino acids circulating in the blood of patients with decompensated cirrhosis and concludes that there is a strong redistribution of their metabolism in order to provide the fuel necessary for the intense inflammatory response.

  • Facebook challenge in AI: CEA researchers ranked 2nd

    In the field of artificial intelligence, international competition is tough. So when researchers from CEA-Joliot and Irfu challenge start-ups and other companies specializing in AI, we cheer them on. Here’s a success story from the field of MRI reconstruction.

  • An atypical cerebral organization for language

    Researchers from the Neurofunctional Imaging Group (GIN, NeuroSpin, Bordeaux) studied by functional MRI, the organization of the brain network of sentence processing in individuals "atypical" for language, i.e. with a major role of the right hemisphere.
