The Institut Cochin is a research center under the joint administrative supervision of Inserm (U1016), CNRS (UMR 8104) and Paris Cité University (UMR-S1016). The Institute hosts around 650 researchers, clinicians, teacher-researchers, technical and administrative engineers, postdoctoral fellows, doctoral students, and trainees. It has 41 teams and ten technological platforms. Together, we share the objective to advance knowledge of the biological mechanisms controlling physiological and pathological situations in humans. The main lines of research of the Institute are cancer, immunology, endocrinology-metabolism, microbiology, and genetic and cellular plasticity. Research is carried out on the campus of the Cochin-Port-Royal Hospital, within 4 buildings (Méchain, Gustave Roussy, Faculty, Cassini).
