The Mammalian Biofoundry : Curie Institute

The Curie Institute site has established an infrastructure dedicated to mammalian cell engineering, relying on the BMBC technical platform of the Physics Laboratory (UMR168) for the design and construction phase, with the contribution of the BioPhenics platform —a robotic cellular screening platform—for the characterization stages.

Thanks to automated processes for cell culture and screening, the Curie Institute site will enable the Paris Biofoundry to develop innovative programs in synthetic biology focused on mammalian cell engineering and the use of bacteria for therapeutic purposes.

The Curie Biofoundry, in close collaboration with the Biofoundry of Sorbonne University Alliance, will primarily support fundamental and exploratory research projects led by academic laboratories, industrial partners or startups from the Île-de-France region and beyond.
