Institut Curie is a world-wide leader in single cell and spatial omics applied to (cancer) cell biology and immunology.

The Institut Curie Single Cell Initiative offers:

A team of Single Cell and Spatial Omics experts at your service
A broad portfolio of cutting-edge technologies
An integrated pipeline from study conception to data interpretation

The heterogeneity of healthy, tumor and immune cells plays a key role in normal and pathological development, as well as in response to treatment. Conventional technologies (in bulk) study a global population of cells and do not allow the detection of subpopulations of rare cells. To be able to distinguish the identity of each cell individually, high-throughput technologies at the scale of the single cell, are under intense development since several years. They allow addressing previously unanswered questions by studying the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome at single-cell resolution.

At the research center of Institut Curie, four core facilities from the Curie CoreTech network (Custom Single Cell Omics, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS ICGEX), Cytometry and Bioinformatics platforms) have decided to join forces and create the Single Cell Initiative. This program aims to coordinate and share resources to optimize the services and developments of Single Cell technologies for the scientific community.
