Research at BF2I is focused on the comprehension of the functions managing the interaction of specific insect pests (aphids and weevils) with their direct biological partners (host plants and symbiotic microorganisms). Research approaches are multi-disciplinary thanks to the different expertise of the staff members.

The central theme of our research is to understand the relationships established between insects and their symbionts elucidating the molecular mechanisms that allow the establishment, maintenance and persistence of these complex interactions in multiple insect generations.

The final goal of research on these complex biological interactions, often involving multiple partners in interaction with the environment, is to identify tools and define new concepts for an integrated approach for plant protection against insect pests. Our research results are to be central for the development of agricultural practices that are sustainable, and respect both the environment and human health.

The genomic platform of the Institut de Biologie de l’École normale supérieure (IBENS) assists you in high throughput functional genomics projects. Our 15-year experience in transcriptomic analysis and an ISO-9001 quality approval guarantee us precision and traceability when treating your samples.

We are charter member of the network « Genomic Paris Centre », in partnership with Institut Curie and Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC). We are approved by the Infrastructures en Biologie Santé et Agronomie (IBiSA) and are part of the France Génomique consortium.

We offer our help in every aspect of your genomic projects. Whether you have questions about funding request, experimental design, management of your samples, use of our equipment, data analysis or training, we are here to help.
