The CRBIP has a unique position at national and international level, based on the combination of:
The CRBIP biological resources are integrated, processed, characterized, preserved and distributed in compliance with health and environmental biosafety and biosecurity standards and under applicable laws and regulations. Explore our large and diverse curated collections of microbial strains and human biological materials.
More than 15000 quality controled strains of bacteria.
The Priority Research Programs and Equipment initiative on biotherapies – PEPR Biothérapies – recently launched its first call for proposals to support innovative initiatives in the field of biotherapies. One of the six selected projects was "PARADIGM", led by the Paris Public Hospital Network (AP-HP), in partnership with the Institut Pasteur and the CEA. The aim of the project is to establish a national biobank of bacteriophages, which will serve as a key resource to produce effective treatments for resistant infections. This biobank, focused on three priority multidrug-resistant pathogens: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and
Acinetobacter baumannii, will be a key part of the Phagocenter, a new operational center directly linked to clinical requirements.
Within the PARADIGM project, the Collection of Institut Pasteur (CIP) will be responsible for compiling and managing this national biobank for bacteriophages and host bacterial strains.
For more information, visit the PEPR Biotherapies program websiteWe offer wet lab services for different types of biological resources, both microbial and human-origin. We also offer bioinformatics services for microbial resources.
The CRBIP accepts deposits of strains, and offers storage of your valuable or irreplaceable biological materials.
Deposit and SorageProcessing of microbial or human specimens, preparation of molecular or cellular derivatives.
ProcessingAuthentication, quantification, phenotypic characterization, genomic taxonomy services
CharacterizationStrict Quality Assurance is a central part of our strategy. Our Quality Management System covers all biobanking processes and aims at fitness-for-purpose of the biological resources we are making available.
