The Centre de Biologie Intégrative de Toulouse (CBI) is a fundamental biology research institute whose ambition is to understand the mechanisms, dynamics and behaviors of living organisms, to advance knowledge on the current societal challenges. Research at the CBI uses multidisciplinary, multi-scale approaches, from isolated molecules to whole organisms and animal societies, applied to numerous model organisms, from bacteria to man.
The institute
Who we are
Created in 2016 under the supervision of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the Université de Toulouse (UT), the CBI brings together more than 400 people – researchers, faculty, engineers, technicians, students and trainees – divided into some forty research teams, core facilities and support services. The teams are affiliated to one of CBI’s three component research units: the Microbiology unit (LMGM), the Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology unit (MCD) and the Animal Cognition unit (CRCA).
The Platforms of the Centre for Integrative Biology (CBI) are technological and service infrastructures dedicated to supporting researchers in their scientific projects. They provide specialized equipment, technical support, and advanced expertise in various fields of integrative biology, thereby facilitating academic research and industrial collaborations.
