Lyon 1 is a multidisciplinary university specializing in both fundamental and applied research. As such, it can boast more than 5000 internationally published articles and 40 patents per year.
The University has 65 state-funded research units working in three fields; health, the environment and material technologies.
A certain number of these units are the result of the association of several laboratories into research clusters. (Full list of research clusters)
This enables these collective structures to have a much wider field of expertise and the acces to, or the purchase of, higher performance research tools than would be possible as individual structures.
Salim Si-Mohamed, a professor at the Lyon 1 University and hospital practitioner at the Hospices Civils de Lyon, has been awarded a prestigious ERC Proof of Concept Grant. The €150,000 ERC Proof of Concept Grant is intended to support the development and commercialisation of a dedicated visualisation solution called 'KOLOR Viewer', which is part of the ERC Starting Grant project '3KOLOR SPCCT Imaging'.
