The Centre de Biophysique Moléculaire (CBM) – CNRS
The Centre for Molecular Biophysics is a CNRS research unit (UPR CNRS) under the supervision of CNRS Chimie (INC) and secondarily attached to CNRS Sciences Biologiques (INSB). It has an agreement with the University of Orléans and the University of Tours. The CBM conducts research at the interface of chemistry, biology and biophysics, with the aim of understanding the structure, dynamics and interactions of biomacromolecules, from the atomic level to the cell and organism. The fundamental research developed at the CBM closely links to applications in the field of medicine and cosmetics.
