Scientific Environment

  Laboratories at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon

The Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon houses 13 laboratories covering all scientifique disciplines: mathematics, astrophysics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, and computer science. Four laboratories are dedicated to biological research: the Laboratoire de Biologie Moléculaire de la Cellule to which the groups belong, the Plant Reproduction and Development laboratory, the laboratory of Human Virology, the Institut de Génomique Fonctionnelle de Lyon . In addition, the Laboratoire Joliot-Curie welcomes researchers affiliated to other laboratories to work on interdisciplinary projects related to fundamental biological investigations.

For more details, please feel free to download this booklet describing all research groups of ENS de Lyon [ 7.5 Mo ].

The school actively supports these laboratories, which share a lot of common resources and facilities, such as access to bibliography, the powerful Pôle Scientifique de Modélisation Numérique computer cluster, technology transfer, glassware cleaning services, stock of consummables, etc...

  Facilities of BioSciences Gerland Lyon-Sud (UMS3448)

The campus is not the only place running biological research in the Gerland district of Lyon. The expertise of many additional researchers is available 'across the street' from the Institute for Protein Biology and Chemistry, the laboratory of Immunity and Vaccination to Infections, the laboratory of Retroviruses and Comparative Pathology, and the laboratory of Emergent infections. All these  labs, together with the ones of the Ecole  Normale Supérieure, are gathered in a network numbered UMS3448, where many resources and facilities have been developped to provide all research groups with provileged access to expensive technologies: flow cytometry, microscopy imaging, animal facility, protein production and analysis, confined laboratory space, drosophila and fish genetics.
