Technology transfer

GRAL can support the early stages of development of emerging technologies in Integrated Structural and Cell Biology (derived from academic research within GRAL labs: BioSanté, IBS, LCBM, and LPCV). GRAL’s technology transfer committee internally reviews requests for “pre-maturation” of projects received from technology transfer offices: CEA, CNRS, Floralis, INRAE, INSERM transfert, and SATT Linksium.

Contact GRAL’s Project Manager, Anne-Mathilde Thierry (anne-mathilde.thierry _at_ ibs.fr or cea.fr / 04 57 42 87 92) for more information.
