Core Facilities

IPBS supports a broad array of technological facilities and state‐of‐the‐art equipment designed to advance the research efforts of the Institute and of external investigators. In order to provide the capability to analyze biological materials using the most sophisticated technologies, our facilities are operated by experienced personnel and some of these facilities conduct their own research and development programs.

The Institute hosts six technological platforms. Five of them (PROTEOTOUL, PICT, TRI and ANEXPLO) have the IBiSA label (national coordination of the life science platforms, http://www.ibisa.net).

Two platforms are coordinated by IPBS:

ProteoToul (Toulouse Proteomics facility; Head: Dr. Odile Burlet‐Schiltz)
PICT (Toulouse Integrated Screening Platform; Head: Dr Virginie Nahoum)

IPBS is a partner site for four other platforms:

TRI-IPBS | Microscopy (Head: Dr. Renaud Poincloux)
TRI-IPBS | Cytometry (Head: Dr. Frédéric Lagarrigue)
Anexplo-IPBS (Functional exploration; Head: Dr. Magali Jacquier)
SIG-IPBS (Head: Wladimir Malaga, CNRS Engineer)

These technological facilities are part of the Genopole Toulouse Midi‐Pyrénées, a regional network of research platforms in life sciences (http://www.genotoul.fr), open to groups from both public and private sectors, and involved in technology development and innovation.
