Biological Resource Center of Institut Pasteur (CRBIP)

The Centre de Ressources Biologiques de l’Institut Pasteur, CRBIP, was created in 2001 as a transversal biobank infrastructure that includes microbial and human specimen collections of Institut Pasteur. The CRBIP receives, maintains, characterizes and supplies biological resources globally, in compliance with health and environmental safety standards and under applicable laws and regulations.
The Centre include 4 specific platforms:
-Collection of the Institut Pasteur (CIP)
-ICAReB-biobank : Integrated Collections for Adaptive Research in Biomedicine
-Collection Pasteur Culture of Cyanobacteria (PCC)
-National Collection of Cultures of Microorganisms

Access to  biological resources distribution and deposits is only on remote basis:
