The Université Paul Sabatier (UPS), leader of the Interbio project, is by scale one of the largest French universities. It is a component of the Pôle de Recherche et d’Enseignement Supérieur (PRES) (the research and higher education cluster) of the Université de Toulouse, which has a total of 110,000 students and more than 5000 public researchers.
The UPS boasts a strong research potential to answer : - the challenges of ultimately understanding matter and living things - key societal problems - technological and industrial requirements
The teams involved in Interbio work at the interface of several disciplines : biology, bio-technologies, pharmacology, nanotechnologies and IT for the health sector. The Interbio project involves a number of key entities from Toulouse in the fields of life and health sciences : - the life sciences research potential of the Université Paul Sabatier in association with the main public research bodies CNRS, INSERM, INRA and the medical sector - le Genotoul, a network of infrastructures (advanced instrumentation) in life sciences : 12 technology platforms looking at genomes. - the cluster (Pôle de compétitivité) Cancer-Bio-Health, which brings together public and private laboratories (230 industrial ones). The launch of Interbio is occurring at a time when a significant part of Toulouse's research potential in the bio-health sector, particularly cancer, is coming together in a technological park, the Toulouse Cancer Campus. This science and technological park will host, alongside the industrial pharmacologist Sanofi-Aventis and the Pierre Fabre Laboratory, to the Institut Avancé des Sciences du Vivant (ITAV), a university cancer clinic, incubators and spaces reserved for multi-disciplinary teams(…)
