The CUBE (University Center for Experimental Biology)

The CUBE is a resource center for experimental biology that pools human, material, and financial resources, providing students at the Grenoble site with high-performance experimental tools throughout their university studies.

Students enrolled in Bachelor's or Master's degree programs in various fields of Life Sciences have the opportunity to supplement their theoretical knowledge with experimental courses on major topics in Biology and to familiarize themselves with the use of the CUBE's wide range of high-tech equipment, thanks to the support ofUniversité Grenoble Alpes the Rhône-Alpes Region in particular. CUBE is run by the Chemistry and Biology Department, but also involves the Bachelor's Degree and Science and Technology Department (DLST), the Physical Activity and Sports Department (APS), and the Pharmacy Department through the integrated physiology and flow cytometry experimental platforms. It regularly welcomes high school students and their teachers for dedicated practical work.
 

The CUBE has a total of 23 practical work rooms and 4 technical platforms, spread across the Biology (Chemistry and Biology Faculty), APS Faculty, and Science and Technology Degree Department (DLST) sites.
