Institut d'Alembert (IDA)

Research unit

Description

Working at the interface between physics, chemistry and biology, the D'Alembert Institute aims to contribute to the understanding of fundamental cellular mechanisms and their dysfunctions by using a combination of photonic and plasmonic effects, including developments in non-linear optics, multiphoton and time-resolved fluorescence imaging and nanophotonics. D'Alembert Institute is based on an integrated collaboration scheme between four research laboratories located at ENS Paris-Saclay. They are originally devoted to fundamental and applied research, respectively in physics (LPQM for more fundamental studies and SATIE for more system oriented ones), chemistry (PPSM) and life sciences (LBPA).
