transnational access Calls focussed on pathogenic agents

Provided by EUROPEAN RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE ON HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AGENTS (ERINHA)

Erinha

To facilitate Transnational access (TNA) to ERINHA’s member facilities, ERINHA periodically opens a call for applications. Free of charge TNA includes administrative & logistical support, remote use of ERINHA high containment facilities, and technical & scientific support.
Transnational Access is either:
– In person/on-site, and provided to selected Users that visit the facilities, on the necessary conditions that the users have appropriate background and successfully complete the required training
– Remote, through the provision of remote scientific services to selected Users
Note: Remote access will systematically apply for in vivo experiments

Training on technologies, methodological and computer skills

Provided by IFB - FRENCH INSTITUTE OF BIOINFORMATICS

france bioinformatique

IFB provides IFB users (biologists, biomedical and bioinformaticians) with a training offer that takes into account the wide diversity of needs and expectations:

– diversity of computer skills (no command line experience, occasional use, familiar, program a little)
– specific courses on new technologies or on biological applications (e.g. NGS, long reads, metabolomics…)
– generic methodological skills (statistics, good programming practices, etc.)
– advanced use of IT technologies (HPC, virtualisation, cloud computing, interoperability, FAIR practices, integrative bioinformatics…)
– good training practices (pedagogical approaches, reuse of materials, etc.)

 Bioinformatics service 

Provided by IFB - FRENCH INSTITUTE OF BIOINFORMATICS

france bioinformatique

The IFB’s services have two main objectives: the deployment of a high-performance bioinformatics service optimized for the needs of the life sciences communities (university laboratories and industries) and the development of innovative bioinformatics resources to address strategic challenges in health, environment and agriculture. As such, IFB provides support, account opening, software and database installation, website and virtual machine hosting, software/database/ information system development and bio-data analysis

Cell automated amplification

Provided by I-STEM

I-STEM

We have developed at I-Stem a fully automated bioproduction platform for research applications (non-GMP) based on the use of CompacT SelecT technology for the amplification and differentiation of hPSCs under feeder-free adherent culture conditions. Process performance and variability are monitored throughout scale out to prevent deviations from specification limits. Cell suspensions are automatically dispensed into cryovials (Fill-it) and frozen using a controlled-rate freezing equipment chamber (Cryomed). Importantly, all cell banks undergo appropriate quality testing according to international guidelines – such as phenotypic characterization, genomic stability and microbiological testing – to ensure they meet release criteria.

High Throughput Screening

Provided by I-STEM

I-STEM

I-Stem has a platform for high-throughput screening of libraries of chemical molecules on embryonic stem cells or iPS with genetic defects.
The laboratory has a high-performance robotic platform with miniaturization and standardization of cellular tests as well as the performance of large-scale screening campaigns (10 000 to 40 000 tests per screening campaign) under sterile and reproducible conditions.
