FRISBI (French Infrastructure for Integrated Structural Biology)

The SFR Biosciences (UAR3444/US8) provides biologists, the academic community and industry a shared pool of resources and technical core facilities specialized in four areas of expertise. The SFR Biosciences is a Service unit that develops a strong science and technology policy for the research centers of the Charles Mérieux campus in the field of biological sciences. Today this federative structure brings together researchers from 8 contributing centers dedicated to research in the following major fields of biology: Infectious diseases, Cell biology, Plant biology, Protein biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Structural biology, Molecular evolution, Genomics, Immunology, Microbiology. The SFR Biosciences provides biologists a shared pool of resources and technical core facilities specialized in various areas of expertise from protein biochemistry to mouse model phenotyping. SFR Biosciences operates by pooling resources from 8 contributing research units altogether 80 teams and more than 900 people.

France-BioImaging is a National Infrastructure in Biology and Health (INBS) laureate in 2011 of the national Program “Investissements d’Avenir” (PIA-ANR) in the field of biological imaging. France-BioImaging aims at creating the most efficient adoption of the latest advances in all technologies and methods related to microscopy, by the users of the imaging facilities. These technologies and methods, reinforced by a strong support in computational analysis, provide quantitative measures and integrative understanding of a wide range of cell and tissue activities in biological models, from the simplest, to small animals in normal and pathological situations.

Instruct-ERIC is a pan-European distributed research infrastructure making high-end technologies and methods in structural biology available to users. Instruct-ERIC is comprised of 17 Member Countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, EMBL, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and United Kingdom. Instruct-ERIC provides open access to cutting edge structural biology, specifically supporting research that uses integrated approaches and technologies. Instruct was established during the European Research Infrastructure Preparatory Phase of the ESFRI roadmap, becoming operational in 2012. Instruct-ERIC works closely with other Biological and Medical Sciences (BMS) Research Infrastructures. Instruct-ERIC infrastructure is supported primarily by Member State funding that provides a long-term foundation for Instruct. Instruct-ERIC also receives external funding through European projects and other programmes to provide funding for Instruct services. Instruct-ERIC publish highlights from recent publications by users at our Instruct centres.

IBISBA is a pan-European distributed research infrastructure dedicated to industrial biotechnology. Moreover, IBISBA is designed to meet 21st century science and technology challenges, providing the depth of pan-European cooperation required to harness the opportunities offered by powerful digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence. In this regard, IBISBA helps to reach EuropaBio’s projections, which anticipate that Europe’s industrial biotechnology will grow to up to 900,000-1,500,000 jobs in 2030. We provide a single access point to integrated services for end-to-end bioprocess development. IBISBA is a pan-European research infrastructure dedicated to Industrial Biotechnology. We provide a single access point to researchers from academia and industry across the globe to integrated services for end-to-end bioprocess development. In doing so, IBISBA accelerates the production and translation of cutting-edge knowledge into innovation for biomanufacturing. We develop smart biomanufacturing by integrating biotechnology with AI, digital twins and cloud technologies.

In the INFRAFRONTIER consortium, more than 20 leading biomedical research institutes in 15 countries join forces to investigate the link between gene function and human diseases by the use of model organisms. INFRAFRONTIER cooperates widely on the European and international level to enhance biomedical research. The INFRAFRONTIER consortium consists of more than 20 leading biomedical research institutes in 15 countries working together to understand basic mammalian gene function and model human diseases. In addition to EMMA, INFRAFRONTIER offers other services like axenic derivation, access to open calls and systemic phenotyping. Discover INFRAFRONTIER’s commitment to Animal Welfare and explore the ethical research practices we apply to drive the 3R Principle in animal research. Via the canSERV project, INFRAFRONTIER offers access to several cutting-edge cancer services as Open Calls. INFRAFRONTIER offers a cutting-edge COVID-19 therapeutics pipeline, a large selection of COVID-19-related strains and emergency archiving services to aid COVID-19 research and minimise the loss of valuable mouse strains. INFRAFRONTIER is closely linked to the largest and foremost scientific consortium for mouse phenotyping worldwide – the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC).
