PrimaStem

 

PrimaStem is a biotechnology research platform, joint funded by INSERM and INRA dedicated to deriving embryonic stem (ES) cell lines in non murine species, including rhesus monkey, goat, rabbit, and man. It also aims to develop molecular and cellular tools for conditional gene expression in embryonic stem (ES) cells and their differentiation derivatives. PrimaStem offers training to research teams in the field of non murine ES cell culture and engineering.

Pierre Savatier

Our team examines the mechanisms of self-renewal and pluripotency in mouse and human embryonic stem cells. We aim to identify novel genes involved in the maintenance of the undifferentiated state and in the early commitment towards ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. Another aspect of our work focuses on the regulation of the cell cycle, which shows unusual characteristics both in mouse and primate ES cells. We study the role of regulators of the G1- to S-phase transition in the maintenance ...
