CENTURI Multi-Engineering Platform

Support and Research Unit (UAR 2027 - US 60)

Overview of the platform

Submitted projects

Ongoing projects

Publications

One major objective of CENTURI is to involve engineers in the experimental and conceptual challenges of systems biology, while developing industrial partnerships.

The Multi-Engineering Platform CENTURI (UAR 2027 - US 60) has been created to provide additional expertise in image processing, bioinformatics, machine learning & data analysis, software development and mechatronics. Our engineers are here to help and advise the scientific community in their daily research questions and/or participate in longer term projects. By organising events and connecting different CENTURI labs, the platform hopes to build a strong cooperative spirit and facilitate the dissemination of information between the teams and the platform.

Our process

You have an engineering question or an issue that you canno’t solve with your platform: meet us at the open desk or contact us directly.

One of our engineers will be assigned to you and will guide you through our request management process.

We strongly encourage you to contact us as early as possible during the project. We can advise you on the acquisition of experimental data in order to facilitate future analyses.
