We are working at the platform of Institute of Systems and Synthetic Biology (iSSB), which is a research unit of Université d’Evry-Val-d’Essonne. It is fully equipped for bacterial genetics and molecular biology work in terms of devices. The lab is monitored on regular basis by a security officer of iSSB.
Our team is under daily supervision of Alfonso Jaramillo, the team direction of Bio-Synth Group of iSSB. We receive regular help as well from Ioana Popescu (Engineer and Hygiene and Security Correspondent) as well from a Ph.D student Thomas Landrain working on site. All the iSSB research team is always around to help and advise us about good laboratory practice.
