Diversity of biological mechanisms 2022 Winning Projects
Distinctions
For the third year, the Institute for Biological Sciences (INSB) at CNRS reward studies to identify and/or develop new models to answer important and specific biological questions that cannot be addressed in the currently available model organisms.
