About Us > IGBMC

The Institute was created in 1994 by Pierre Chambon, one of the most important figures in biomedical research, and is now one of the main European research centres in this domain.

In France, it is the largest research unit, involving the Inserm, CNRS and the University of Strasbourg. In addition to its four scientific programs (developmental biology and stem cells, integrative structural biology, functional genomics and cancer, translational and medicine), the IGBMC has developed advanced scientific services and technological platforms for internal use, but also open to the wider scientific community.

The Institute aims to develop interdisciplinary research at the interface of biology, biochemistry, physics and medicine, but also to attract students from around the world by offering very high-level education in the field of biomedical sciences.
