Institut Français de Bioinformatique (IFB)
The IFB is the National Bioinformatics Infrastructure that provides support, deploys services, organizes training and carries out innovative developments for the life sciences communities.
The IFB federates 36 bioinformatics platforms affiliated to the main French research organizations: 21 member platforms, 7 contributing platforms and 8 associate teams. Thanks to this nationwide coverage, the IFB structures a national bioinformatics community by pooling technical and human resources and disseminating know-how.
The IFB is the French node of the European infrastructure for bioinformatics ELIXIR, ELIXIR-FR.
The strategic orientation of the IFB for the 2021-2029 period is paved through the PIA3 ESR+/Equipex MuDiS4LS project. MUDIS4LS is structured around 5 thematic projects (Implementation Studies) based on 4 technological workpackages.
