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...
All the news of the Institute of life sciences Frédéric Joliot
In a recent review published in Science, Stanislas Dehaene (director of NeuroSpin, Inserm-CEA-University Paris-Saclay) and his colleagues suggest that the word "consciousness" includes two different types of information processing calculations in the brain: C1, which integrates the information and makes it available, and C2, which is the reflexive process. Do machines have a conscience?
The Frédéric Joliot Institute (and in particular the SPI / LERI), a Research Team from the Bicêtre Hospital APHP— Paris-Sud University and NG Biotech have developed new rapid tests to detect certain forms of antimicrobial resistance in hospitals.
The first colloquium of the Department of Life Sciences of Paris-Saclay University - a department of which the Frédéric Joliot Institute is a member - was held on October 25th and 26th, 2017, in Orsay, at the Paris-Sud University campus (Faculty of Sciences, Cartan amphitheater).
In a study conducted by the Neurofunctional Imaging Group (GIN, NeuroSpin, Bordeaux), a classification technique by Support Vector Machine (SVM) , a supervised learning technique, is used to predict the different hemispheric dominance patterns for language and to highlight the existence of very rare patterns in some healthy individuals.
A Research Team from the SHFJ (IMIV) highlights, through a preclinical model of exposure to alcohol, an immediate and persistent neuro-immune response, several months after the initial exposure of alcohol. These results confirm the occurrence of brain damage that may play a key role in the neurological deficits reported in teenagers who like "binge-drinking", that is to say an excessive consumption of alcohol over a very short time.
The Neurofunctional Imaging Group (GIN - IMN) and the company Fealinx (formerly Cadesis) inaugurated in Bordeaux on October 23 the joint Ginesislab laboratory. The objective of this laboratory is to optimize the use of biomedical imaging data by developing a specific computer platform.
A Research Team of the SCBM (Frédéric Joliot Institute), in collaboration with the SIMOPRO (Frédéric Joliot Institute), Strasbourg University and the start-up Syndivia, has just discovered a new chemical reaction allowing both to bind and to cleave molecules in biological media ("click and release" reaction).
For the first time, an animal model expresses the two biological characteristics of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers from MIRCen (François Jacob Institute), SPI (LEMM), Inserm, Universities Paris-Sud and Paris-Descartes and CNRS have developed an animal model that reproduces the progression of the human disease.
