Integrated Structural Biology
PLATFORM LEADER
The integrated structural biology platform of the center offers project-based access to all advanced tools from sample preparation and biophysical characterization to structural analysis including in particular cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, small angle X-ray scattering, super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and NMR of proteins and macromolecular complexes including nucleoprotein complexes. Taken together, this allows integrating functional data and various multi-resolution structural data. These activities are supported by experienced engineers and technicians and by the strong scientific environment and know-how provided by the Department of Structural Biology of the center.
We are open to both academic and industrial partners in different ways, from simple services to research projects (collaborations).

Project submission
Several ways to submit a proposal for access depending of your laboratory:
- If you are a scientist from IGBMC, you need to complete the project submission form.
If you are a scientist from outside IGBMC:
- Directly contact us by using the submission form (see above)
- Our centre (Instruct centre France 1) being part of infrastructures for Integrated Structural Biology, you can apply via:
- European infrastructure Instruct-ERIC providing funded access to our platforms for Instruct users ;
- National infrastructure FRISBI (open access 7/7 and 24/24 but providing funding access only during specific call) ;
- European infrastructure iNEXT providing funded access to our electron microscopy platform for European users outside France.
For any question please contact Marie-Christine Poterszman.
