The Centre d’Etude et de Recherche Multimodal Et Pluridisciplinaire en imagerie du vivant (CERMEP)
CERMEP is a preclinical and clinical in vivo imaging platform open to practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry.
Located on a hospital-university campus, CERMEP offers on a single site:
- Multimodal imaging capabilities through a wide range of imaging systems
- The ability to conduct methodological research in imaging in collaboration with associated laboratories
- A radiopharmacy enabling the development and production of PET radiopharmaceuticals
- Direct access to one of Europe’s most densely populated hospital-university campuses, fostering translational research, particularly in neuroscience and cardiology.
The SFR Health Lyon-Est is a research federation that brings together the main biology and health laboratories in the eastern part of Lyon, particularly on the Rockefeller-Centre Léon Bérard, Laennec Faculty of Medicine, and the Eastern Hospitals (Neuro-cardio, Le Vinatier) campuses.
The main objective of the SFR Santé Lyon-Est is to federate the laboratories of the Eastern site and give them access to shared platforms. 12 technical platforms available to the contributing units as well as to academics and industrialists.
In addition to pooling resources, it is also a search for scientific dynamics to motivate the creation of projects and encourage exchanges between researchers.
In addition to the support of Claude Bernard University Lyon 1, the SFR Santé Lyon-Est has been accredited as a research support unit by the CNRS (CNRS UAR3453) and as a service unit by the INSERM (INSERM US7).
