CurieCoreTech Multimodal Imaging Center (UAR2016 / US43)

FREDERIC COQUELLE

Service Unit Director

Presentation

 

 

The Multimodal Imaging Center (MIC) was created on 1 January 2020 by the four trustees, the CNRS, the Inserm, the Institut Curie, and Université Paris-Saclay, as a service unit UAR2016/ US43.

The MIC Unit brings together the expertise of Imaging (Light Microscopy, Electron cryo-Microscopy, Ionic Microscopy, Image Processing and Analysis) and makes available to the scientific, academic and industrial community a service offering, training and R&D in multimodal imaging.

Our service unit, with an integrated vision, offers targeted activities around multi-scale and multimodal imaging on different types of samples (molecules, cells and tissues).

 

These activities are divided into 4 poles of expertise around sub-cellular and correlative imaging, chemical mapping of multiplexing and analysis and processing of generated images.

Unit Governance :

The Director relies on several committees to manage the unit.

The Committee of Trustees decides on the main scientific, technological and organisational guidelines, in relation to the geographical context

The strategic policy committee defines priorities, ensures the quality of services offered and proposes methodological developments

Each pole user committee make  possible to take collective decisions on the operation and management of the pole and to make proposals for strategic direction

Continuing education

L3 BIBS 2025 ENAs part of a Professional Bachelor's Degree (L3) in Bio-industries and Biotechnology, our unit welcomed five interns—Oumaïma Bouchaqour, Lisa Garrigos, Rana Hajji, Lou Lacam, and Donia Mocho—from January 13 to 24, 2025.

This year, we assigned the students a project on selecting the most suitable membrane fluorescent probe for automatically outlining cell contours. After receiving both theoretical and practical training on microscopes, they were introduced to image processing and formatting using the Fiji software. Their results were presented at the end of the internship before a jury composed of internal and external members of the unit.

Electron Microscopy

Workshop

GAPCédric Messaoudi participated in the electron microscopy workshop as part of the GAP doctoral network, a European Marie Sklodowska-Curie project (https://www.gapmscaproject.com) focused on "biomineralization" and the structure of bone systems. 

This workshop took place in Strasbourg from December 2 to 3, 2024. Cédric delivered a theoretical and practical course on electron tomography reconstruction.
