The Institut de biologie physico-chimique (IBPC) is a research center located in Paris, in the “Curie campus”, in the 5th arrondissement. Administratively it is a research federation (FR550) of the National Center for Scientific Research.[https://paris-promeneurs.com/l-institut-de-biologie-physico/ L’Institut de biologie physico-chimique]
History and description
It was created after a donation from Edmond de Rothschild in 1927[https://www.normalesup.org/~adanchin/causeries/IBPC2.html Avant-Propos] at the instigation of the French physicist and Nobel Prize winner Jean Perrin who, noting the inadequacies of university research that was too compartmentalized, wanted to promote interdisciplinarity and create a new profession, researcher in physicochemical biology, paid to understand the physicochemical processes of living things, at the macroscopic, microscopic and molecular scales, with fields of application opening up to biosphere-climate interactions as well as pedology, agronomy, physiology, cytology or medicine, among others. The center, whose architect is Germain Debré, opened its doors in 1930. The campus where it is located is served by the Paris Métro (Monge or Cluny-La Sorbonne stations) and RER B (Luxembourg station).[https://start.lesechos.fr/innovations-startups/tech-futur/cnrs-80-ans-dexistence-en-8-images-1174996 CNRS : 80 ans d’existence en 8 images]
