6 research units of the Animal Genetics Division are merging to create GABI
vendredi 16 janvier 2009.
As of 1 January 2009, the six research units of the Animal Genetics Division of INRA at Jouy-en-Josas (the Biochemical Genetics and Cytogenetics Laboratory, the Fish Genetics Laboratory, the Animal and Genetic Diversity Unit, the Quantitative and Applied Genetics Unit, the Radiobiology and Genome Research Unit, the Genomics and Lactation Physiology Unit) are merging to create the largest research unit on the Jouy-en-Josas research centre.
The Animal Genetics and Integrative Biology Unit (UMR GABI) is a joint research unit placed under the authority of INRA and AgroParisTech, a graduate institute in Science and Engineering. It gathers nearly 200 scientists, researchers with teaching activities, engineers, technicians and students from research organisations (INRA, CEA) and AgroParisTech, and from technical and professional organisations (in particular, the Institute de l’Elevage, the Haras Nationaux, UNCEIA and IFIP).
This reorganisation will improve the visibility of both the Animal Genetics Division and INRA, reinforcing the positioning of both the institute and its partners as major actors of research, higher education and development in Animal Genetics on both the national and international levels.
