The ICS (Mouse Clinical Institute)
The Institut Clinique de la Souris - ICS (Mouse Clinical Insitute - MCI) is a research infrastructure of excellence for translational research and functional genomics. It provides a comprehensive set of specialised services to academic and industrial users and is a major player in the European post-genomics era programs.The ICS combines the capacity of generating mutant mice on a large scale with a high-throughput and comprehensive phenotypic analysis of the animals. The Institute's phenotyping platforms are adapted for the study of genetically engineered mouse models and genetic reference populations but can also be used for preclinical studies including the validation of therapeutic targets as well as pharmacological and toxicological studies in the mouse.

In vivo imaging platform of Strasbourg-Campus
The "in vivo imaging" team focuses ono the technological development of instrumentation for medical imaging, the development of medical images processing and analysis , and is involved in preclinical and clinical imaging research programs.
The platform benefits from the IbiSA certification.
Integrative Chemistry Biology platform - Drug Discovery Center
The Integrative Chemistry-Biology platform can implement tailored screening methods according to the target of interest (cells, proteins, nucleic acids, ...) and run high throughput screening campaigns using proprietary or clients’ libraries, in ISO 9001 compliant conditions.
Imaging Center of the IGBMC
The imaging platform of the IGBMC in Strasbourg offers a variety of electronic, optical and confocal microscopy tools as well as image and analysis of performed by experienced engineers from various disciplines (biology, physics, computing, opto-mechanical engineering).
The platform has a wealth of experience in the development of innovative solutions to a broad range of problems in the domain of cellular and tissue imaging and they can help in the conception and elaboration of research projects requiring state of the art imaging technologies. The platform can also provide both advice and equipments for the preparation, treatment and analysis of the samples is open to external laboratories, national and international levels

Biomechanics platform
The platform is specialized in the biomechanics of shocks applied to the system head - neck - chest.
This multidisciplinary team of scientists and clinicians is involved in many national and international industrial projects in Health (diagnosis, telesurgery, forensics), security, protection and comfort are the areas of direct applications.
Platform research & clinical pre-clinical - xenografts and pediatric brain tumors
The platform was primarily focused on the development of xenograft models of human malignant gliomas but it has expanded its activities to the head and neck cancers, breast and colon carcinomas. The morphological and functional features of the models are regularly monitored using standard histology, immunohistochemistry, genotyping, phenotyping (proliferation and survival), microvascular density and expression of therapeutic targets. Several models are used for preclinical efficacy evaluation of anticancer therapies (chemotherapy, targeted therapies alone or in combination with radiation).
The platform has a national, and international scope.
Project underway:
A 100% Medtech campus complete with one of France's most modern hospitals
Alsace will soon be the site of a campus dedicated entirely to medical technologies (Medtech). These facilities will include specific medtech platforms and a University Hospital institute (UHI) for image-guided minimally invasive surgery (MIS).

A University Hospital Institute for image-guided minimally invasive surgery
This institute is destined to become an internationally renowned site for minimally invasive surgery using medical imaging.
Overseen by the IRCAD (Research Institute Against Digestive Cancers), the UHI will offer patients optimal quality care,
while developing innovative equipment and training surgeons in the latest MIS techniques.
Operations to begin in 2013
