I2BC / Département Biologie Cellulaire

Research team

Description

The Department of Cell Biology is part of the Institute for Integrative Cell Biology (I2BC), and is interested in the molecular mechanisms that govern the physiological functions of cells, as well as the impact of the environment on these functions. The department's research groups use models ranging from eukaryotes to plants and mammals to understand the processes of homeostasis of living cells and organisms
