The Institute for Microbiology, Bioenergy and Biotechnology (IM2B) of Aix-Marseille University was created in 2019 in order to bring together various laboratories that are united by a common research subject : the study of biological entities on the molecular level.
11 research units are part of the IM2B :
These laboratories use various approaches and methodologies to gain understanding about the structure of living matter. These include:
Microbiology from viruses and bacteria to fungi, plants and animals
Biochemistry of specific proteins, carbohydrates and lipids
Molecular biology and biotechnology to decipher and manipulate biological material
Ecology and environmental studies to study the intricate organism-environment relationship
Biophysics and biomathematics allowing understanding on a fundamental level
Computational biology and bioinformatics to gain insight into complex reactions and large datasets (OMICS)
To train their PhD students, IM2B members founded the Plinius cursus, an international PhD program dedicated to the PhD students of the institute. This programme brings together various scientific or transversal training courses and seminars which will prepare students for an international career.
