All the news of the Institute of life sciences Frédéric Joliot
Researchers from BIAM (CEA / Cadarache), in collaboration with a Research Team of the Frédéric Joliot Institute (I2BC @ Saclay), the BGE laboratory and ESFR (Grenoble) have discovered an enzyme that allows microalgae to transform certain from their fatty acids to hydrocarbons using only light energy. Published on 01/09/2017 in Science, this major discovery was the subject of a press release.
For more than 30 years, the Service of Pharmacology and Immunoanalysis (SPI) of the CEA's Frédéric Joliot Institute offers its expertise in the development of immunoanalytical methods, physicochemical analyzes (LC-MS), genetic detection ( PCR) and cell culture allowing it to address the detection, quantification and fate of potentially dangerous molecules or microorganisms. Since 2005, his research in the field of biosafety has been supported by the interdepartmental R&D program NRBC-E, entrusted by public authorities to the CEA.
In early 2017, the DRF management launched a new call for projects whose aim is to stimulate changes or new interactions between its institutes. This year, management has decided to consolidate and strengthen all of its incentive actions into one larger program. Research Teams at the Frédéric Joliot Institute have been very active in getting involved.
On the 5th, 6th and 7th of July the first PhD students Days of the Institute of life sciences Frédéric Joliot were held. In the spirit of the previous PhD students Days that took place each year at IBITECS and I2BM, PhD students and researchers met for three half days to discuss about their work.
Last May, we showed you almost live the extraordinary journey of the magnet from Belfort to Saclay, and his arrival on the 18th of May. What happened later?
Researchers from SB2SM and four other Research Teams (Yale University, Arizona State University, Argonne National Lab and Institute for High Performance Computing, Singapore) have identified a photosynthesis mechanism that protects plants from excess light energy . These results could contribute to the development of more efficient energy systems in new solar technologies.
As part of an international collaboration, researchers from LI2D (SPI / Marcoule) and University of Warwick have highlighted the long-term benefits of the association between different marine microorganisms. The study published in Nature Microbiology shows that, contrary to what was admitted up to now, these microorganisms are in equilibrium and not in competition for micronutrients, because they form a complementary ecosystem.
Deriving from a collaboration between the SHFJ and MIRCen, this work presents a new and original method of quantification of positron emission tomography (PET) images adapted to hybrid PET / MRI cameras, developed by combining the expertise of MIRCen in MRI preclinical and SHFJ expertise in preclinical PET.
