Welcome to the Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell

The Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC) is the leading Paris-Saclay institute for molecular and cellular biology. I2BC explores how cells function as integrated systems across multiple scales, leveraging a broad spectrum of organisms and model systems.

Organized into five scientific departments, the research teams benefit from cutting-edge core facilities and a collaborative environment. Together, they drive innovative research structured around four transverse axes:
