i-Bio, an initiative for interdisciplinary research at Sorbonne University
The i-Bio project, supported by the French Excellence Initiative granted to Sorbonne University Alliance, aims to promote interdisciplinary research at the interface between Biology and other disciplines. It mainly involves the Institut de Biologie Paris-Seine (IBPS) and the Institut du Fer à Moulin (IFM). A call for PhD applications is currently open. To learn more […]
