Présentation

La cytométrie est un puissant outil permettant de mesurer et d’isoler à haut débit différents aspects phénotypiques, fonctionnels ou structurels au sein d’échantillons complexes en suspension ou tissulaires et à la résolution de la cellule unique.

La plateforme de cytométrie de l’Institut Curie CYTPIC propose ainsi aux utilisateurs internes et externes des solutions adaptées s’appuyant sur des technologies de pointe à savoir la cytométrie conventionnelle, spectrale, en image et spatiale appliquées à l’étude des biomarqueurs circulants, vésicules extracellulaires, cellules et tissus.

CYTPIC Newcomer - 17 juillet 2023
New Research Engineer
CYTPIC is pleased to announce the arrival of Anne-Gaelle Lafont, PhD.

"Since obtaining my PhD degree in biology in 2006, I have had the opportunity to work in various fields of research. I worked mainly on aquatic models (fish, cephalopods) and on the impact of environmental factors (salinity, temperature), hormones and peptides, on the physiological regulations of these different models. I also investigated the evolution history of gene families in vertebrates. For all this, I used molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry and in silico approaches.

In 2019, I graduated from the inter university degree “Project Manager and Investigator of Clinical Trials” at Pierre and Marie Curie University. I was then recruited as a research engineer, operational manager of the biobank of the Saint-Antoine hospital in Paris. During this contract, I notably set up the microbiology laboratory for the new activity of the Biobank dedicated to research on the Intestinal Microbiota.

Since the 17th of July, I have joined the Paris Cytometry Plateform of the Curie Institute.

Anne-Gaelle Lafont."

CYTPIC Upgrade - 13 juillet 2023
Chromium iX
The Cytometry Platform of the Institut Curie (CYTPIC) is happy to announce the upgrade of our Chromium Controller to the Chromium iX at the site of Orsay thanks to the Initiative Single Cell (NGS platform) and the support of U1021, UMR3348 and the Research Center.

The Chromium iX, based on NextGEM technology, is a microfluidic instrument for isolating cells or cell nuclei from a suspension (biological sample) for transcriptomic, proteomic and/or epigenetic analysis in NGS at the scale of single cells or nuclei.

The Chromium iX supports new 10X solutions (RNA Fixed, and more to come). Possible and non-exhaustive applications:

- Single Cell Gene Expression on all types of fresh or fixed cells.

- Characterization of accessible regions of chromatin (ATAC) at single nucleus scale, possible in combination with gene expression on single cells or nuclei.
