Adrien Favier (IBS/NMR) and 6 other operational managers of the national network of flagship NMR facilities providing High-Resolution and High-Field capabilities, as well as the administrative and financial manager, are recipients of the CNRS collective cristal medal 2019. This prize distinguishes research support teams that have carried out projects whose technicity, collective dimension, applications, innovation and outreach are particularly remarkable. This structure brings together 7 recognized NMR research centres (including the IBS) equipped with very high magnetic field spectrometers (11 instruments, from 750 to 1000 MHz proton frequency). For more than 10 years, this entity has been providing the French and European scientific community with access to its instruments as well as high-level technical and scientific expertise and support.
In Grenoble, Adrien Favier is operational manager of the IBS NMR platform, which operates six very high magnetic field spectrometers (600 MHz to 950 MHz proton frequency).

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded an "Advanced Grant" to Martin Blackledge, group leader of the Institut de Biologie Structurale (IBS - CEA/CNRS/UGA mixed research unit), for his project on the atomic resolution description of highly dynamic molecular assemblies and their role in viral replication (details).

Katharina Weinhäupl receives the prize Nine Choucroun-Fondation Edmond de Rothschild

Admin general — 2019-03-01T15:21:00Z

Katharina Weinhäupl, former IBS PhD student under the supervision of P. Schanda (IBS/NMR group) from October 2017 to January 2018, has been awarded the 2019 Nine Choucroun-Fondation Edmond de Rothschild Prize. This prize, awarded every two years under the auspices of the Institute of Physical-Chemical Biology, is intended to encourage young researchers working in the field of Physical-Chemical Biology who have obtained their PhD in a French laboratory in the previous two years.
Katharina is distinguished for her thesis work on the mechanisms of membrane protein transport in mitochondria.
