Integrating Structural Biology in Grenoble.
On a single site in Grenoble co-exist the world-leading neutron and X-ray sources, ILL and ESRF, and the EMBL Grenoble Outstation. These three international organisations, together with two French national laboratories (the IBS and the IVMS) are establishing an integrated structural biology environment, the Center for Integrated Structural Biology (CISB), with additional support from the EU via SPINE, BIOXHIT and other grants. The CISB will provide state-of-the-art, automated facilities for protein expression, isotope labelling, crystallisation and structure determination (X-ray, neutron, EM, NMR) which will be applied to a variety of problems related to human biology and disease.

The talk will describe technical innovations made in Grenoble in instrumentation for automated crystallography using synchrotron radiation and in protein expression as well as some structural biology results on structural proteomics projects which are part of SPINE.
