Research
themes
In spite of its relatively
small staff, the ICP pursues investigations in a great variety of
fields. This diversity, which stems from the principles that have
guided the creation of the institute and, notably, from the
freedom enjoyed by its investigators, nevertheless does not lead
to excessive dispersion of efforts. On the contrary, it generates
particularly fruitful exchanges that are made possible, beyond the
differences among subjects, by the common concepts and methods
characteristic of modern biology. The same tools are used and the
same language is spoken, whether one looks at a virus, a microbe,
a parasitic protist, a plant, an animal or a human being.
