IGBMC

The Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC) is developing a trans-disciplinary research at the interface of biology, biochemistry, physics and medicine, close from Starsbourg.

The technology platform for high throughput screening of INGESTEM within IGBMC associates within Inserm, CNRS and the University of Strasbourg. Its activity is dedicated to the development and optimization of differentiation of normal and pathological pluripotent stem cells and the identification of novel molecular targets.

Management:

  • Scientific Direction: Prof. Olivier Pourquié
  • Technical Manager: Dr. Laurent Brino

Expertise:

  • Developmental biology and transgenesis
  • Study of cellular and molecular mechanisms of normal and pathological embryogenesis
  • Cell Differentiation

Involvement in INGESTEM:

  • Production models reportrices cell lines (lineage-specific promoter) from the bank of ES and iPS INGESTEM of murine and human.
    Screening programs (RNAi and chemical compounds)
