In and around
The LJC Joliot-Curie Laboratory owns, or is home to, all the equipment required to host most transdisciplinary projects with a biology twist :
- Tools for molecular biology : nucleic acids and proteins electrophoresis, thermocyclers, real-time thermocycler, microfuges, tabletop ultracentrifuge, precision balances, incubators etc…
- A class II biosafety cell culture facility dedicated to mammalian, insect, plant cells, complete with class II biosafety cabinets, CO2 incubators, microscopes...
- Walk in environmental chambers at 4°C and 37°C for biochemistry and bacteria culture.
- Two ACTA FPLC purifiers.
- Wide field, phase contrast, epifluorescence microscopes.
- Time lapse microscope for cell culture imaging.
- Confocal microscope and TIRF microscope.
- AFM and fluorescence-coupled AFM.
- An environmental scanning electron microscope.
- A radioactivity room.
In addition, thanks to its central position in the Lyon Gerland campus, and partnerships with surrounding labs, scientists at LJC have access in a walking distance, to advanced shared facilities and expertise, including :
- Phosphorimagers, Odyssey imager, fluorimeters, scintillation counters...
- Greenhouses and phytotrons.
- A cell line repository : CELLULONET
- A L3 biosafety Lab : AniRA - LABORATOIRE L3 / UMS
- A P3 biosafety vectorology facility : AniRA - ANALYSE GENETIQUE ET VECTOROLOGIE
- A microscopy facility : PLATIM
- A protein production facility : PRODUCTION ET ANALYSE DE PROTEINES (PAP)
- A protein analysis facility : CENTRE COMMUN DE MICROANALYSE DES PROTEINES (CCMP)
- A protein cristalogenesis facility CRISTALLOGENESE
- A flow cytometry facility : AniRA - CYTOMETRIE EN FLUX
- A drosophila facility : DROSO-TOOLS
- A transgenic mouse facility : AniRA - (PBES)
- A fish screening facility PLATEAU DE RECHERCHE EXPERIMENTALEDE CRIBLAGE IN VIVO (PRECI)
- High Performance Computing : PSMN
Most of these facilities are hosted by the Unité Mixte de Service UMS3444/US8 Biosciences , a federative endeavor that totals more than 800 scientists, engineers and technicians at the Gerland - Lyon Sud campus.
