Presentation

The organization of science into disciplines has led for a very long time to a fragmented vision of knowledge. Chemistry and biology, for example, were seen as neighboring fields rather than part of a shared continuum.The advent of biochemistry, structural biology, and more recently chemical biology or molecular medicine have helped to erase this boundary for a multi-scale understanding of living things, from molecules to ecosystems. The ICB project brings together teams from Université Paris Cité and the Institut Pasteur who share a common goal: strengthening the connection between chemistry and biology. Together, they are developing joint research projects, training opportunities, science outreach activities, and innovation initiatives that address key scientific and societal challenges.
