What exactly is Pitchµm?
First, It stands for Projet, Ingénierie & Technologie pour l’Univers Microbien (Project, Engineering & Technology for the Universe of Microbs).
It all started from a simple need: observing environmental bacteria. To meet this need, we created an experimental laboratory dedicated to observing a wide variety of microorganisms and their interactions.
Unlike a platform, a laboratory operates through projects, not services. This means you’ll need to connect with the brilliant researchers and technical staff working there to co-develop your project. Nothing too complicated—it’s the same approach as with the IAM team.
To sum up: What is Pitchµm?
Two core technologies are available:
1 – Microfluidics, which enables:
– Dynamic observation of entire microbial colonies,
– Study of interactions between microorganisms and their environment,
– Integration of controlled biological and physicochemical parameters,
– Real-time live imaging under the microscope.
More details available on the dedicated page.
2 – Cytometry, a well-established technology in the lab that you can explore further on its dedicated page.
L’oxygène, moteur méconnu de l’évolution des photosymbioses La production d’oxygène par la photosynthèse est probablement l’un des plus importants événements de transformation de la planète
Une équipe du LCB, en collaboration avec le BIAM/LGBP, propose un nouveau scénario pour l’origine des photosymbioses. Leurs travaux suggèrent que l’oxygène produit par la
C’est avec une immense fierté que nous vous annonçons la naissance du Labo Pitchµm. Avouez qu’après une équipe IAM qui a marqué les esprits, il
