Customise your single-cell experiments with BD targeted RNA-Seq and multiplexing technologies 🗓 🗺
The BD Rhapsody™ portfolio of products helps you answer biological questions with a sensitive, targeted approach to single-cell analysis. Researchers can interrogate gene expression from hundreds to tens of thousands of single cells from one or multiple samples simultaneously. Dr. Serge Scherrer will present this tool and techniques built by BD. Flyer (pdf) BD […]
High-Throughput Imaging & Biocontrol
One of the current agronomic challenges relates to the identification of more environmentally friendly plant protection products. This research requires the screening of several thousand candidate molecules, notably by evaluating their effects on the development of plant-pathogenic microorganisms. To this end, thanks to funding from the Occitanie Region / ERDF funds […]
A new Zeiss Lattice SIM super-resolution microscope
The TRI-Genotoul platform, IPBS site, has just acquired the new Lattice Structured Illumination Microscopy (SR-SIM) technology, developed by Nobel Prize winner Eric Betzig. The IPBS platform is one of the first to receive this equipment in France. In particular, this device will help overcome technological barriers related to speed […]
A new tissue-sculpting force generation mechanism
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, was long considered to be a simple mechanism for eliminating surplus cells. We now know that its role goes far beyond this, conditioning tissue patterning. Cells about to die thus transiently deform the tissue surrounding them and contribute to its final morphology. [...]
A hyperactive mutant of the RNA polymerase dedicated to ribosome synthesis
Ribosomes are the structures within cells responsible for protein production. They are composed of an assembly of molecules including RNA polymerase I, an enzyme specifically in charge of synthesising RNA components. Researchers have managed to isolate a mutant polymerase that is more active than the normal enzyme. The existence of this […]
3 & 4 Oct: Prototyping and Open Science Exchange Days 🗓 🗺
The “Prototypes and Device Control” group of RT-MFM (Multidimensional Fluorescence Microscopy - CNRS) and the Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems (LAAS-CNRS) are organising the second meeting on the prototyping of scientific instrumentation. This day, supported by GIS Genotoul, is an opportunity to discover, share and discuss innovative scientific instrumentation prototyping projects [...]
Hydathodes rescued from oblivion
Hydathodes are unique structures in more ways than one. Extensively described in the literature up until the 1970s, these organs subsequently fell into obscurity. With the assistance of the FRAIB imaging platform, L. Noël's team (LIPM) is bringing back to light the multiple roles played by these very particular structures, acting simultaneously as a safety valve [...]
S. Allart awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite
Sophie Allart, head of the CPTP cell imaging platform, was appointed to the rank of Knight of the National Order of Merit by decree of the President of the Republic dated 15 November 2018. She was decorated on 12 April at the CPTP by Prof Georges Delsol. This promotion illustrates the universality of the second national order […]
Feedback on « Demystifying machine learning » symposium
On the 11th of March, both the Bordeaux and Toulouse Imaging Facilities collaborated to organise a mini-symposium dedicated to machine learning. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning are terms that are more and more employed, but what do they really mean? More than 130 participants from all over France came to Toulouse […]
3rd and 4th of April: Workshop “Advanced data analysis”
The CPTP and I2MC cytometry platforms are organising, in conjunction with the Inserm training office, an international workshop entitled “Analysis of advanced cytometry data”. This workshop, led by Professor Jonathan Irish and the bioinformaticians from the Computational Analysis Group of the French Cytometry Association, Quentin Barbier and Samuel Granjeaud, consists of a half-day seminar and a 3-day training course […]
