Laboratoire de Biologie et Modélisation de la Cellule - UMR 5239 - Inserm 1293

The LBMC is an experimental biology laboratory hosted at ENS de Lyon in a multidisciplinary scientific environment. The laboratory's main subject of study is the cell, which is the most fundamental unit of life.

The 15 research teams aim at integrating diverse aspects of cell life such as proliferation, differentation, and interaction with cellular environment in a normal or pathogenic context. The fundamental research pursued in the laboratory relies on expertise in cellular and molecular biology and integrates interdisciplinary approaches in (bio)computing, (bio)physics and (bio)mathematics.
