SCIENTIFIC PLATFORM BIOLOGIST ENGINEER - M/F
About the company
Description The Laboratoire P4 Inserm Jean Mérieux is recruiting!
We are a research infrastructure dedicated to the study of risk group 4 biological agents, which are highly pathogenic microorganisms characterized by a high mortality rate, the absence of prophylactic or therapeutic means, as well as easy interhuman transmissibility. The manipulation of such microorganisms requires the use of biosafety level 4 (BSL4) laboratories - the maximum confinement level - which ensure both the protection of users and the environment.
The Laboratoire P4 is organized as a research infrastructure open to the academic and industrial scientific community and offers scientific and technical services adapted to the implementation of research programs ranging from very fundamental to preclinical trials.
