The Institute of Psychiatry and Neuroscience of Paris is a multi-disciplinary community of over 150 basic and clinical neuroscientists, as well as faculty members working on: Neurodevelopment and Psychiatry, Behavior, Memory and Emotions, Neurovascular system, Multiscale imaging (from molecules to whole brain), Translational Neurosciences and molecular and cellular mechanisms in Aging Brain.
Our mission is to :
-Understand how the brain works at all levels, from molecular mechanisms to cells, neuronal networks and whole organ through innovative and interdisciplinary research.
-Promote the transfer of research and discovery into medical advances for neurological and psychiatric diseases, such as new therapeutics, devices or diagnostics development.
-Train the next generation of physicians and scientists to conduct collaborative and creative science.
The IPNP of Université Paris and INSERM is settled in a new building constructed adjacent to the Sainte-Anne hospital in the fall 2017. The 4300 m2 new building houses multidisciplinary teams of experts in biology, clinical research, physics, chemistry, engineering and computational science. The IPNP goal is to foster collaborations between basic, translational and clinical research.
The IPNP hosts junior and senior researchers it will host spin-off firms (all recruited through international calls) to support promotion of research and technology transfer. The IPNP also provides core facilities and services to ensure that the teams have access to the most advanced technologies allowing the development of modern psychiatric and neuroscience research projects.
The decision to create a research center within GHU Paris site Sainte-Anne results from the strategic goal of integrating basic and clinical research in psychiatry and neuroscience.
The Institute bridges the gap between basic and clinical research in a setting which has historical roots in understanding psychiatric and neurological problems via researching the central nervous system.
