Call for seed grants on Single Cell Biology – 2023 session

The “Single Cell Resources” Initiative aims at fostering research at Institut Pasteur with a focus on “single cell” approaches.

Objective: The goal of this program is to support exclusively projects that include applying innovative methods or development of new single cell approaches to study “single cell” biology. This includes probes, workflows as well as analytical approaches. The projects based on established 10xGenomics protocols will not be considered.

The projects should be achieved within 12 months, and the allocated resources can be spent in a flexible way and should be used in 2023. The requests for equipment will not be supported. Each project proposal should be in the range of 10k€ to 20k€.
