“SHIP-In presents a unique opportunity to participate in the development of scientific advances that have been unanimously hailed at a world level,” said Nicolas Carboni, the Director of the Alsace BioValley cluster. “Alsace BioValley is proud to have supported and endorsed a project of this importance, which can only enhance the competitiveness of French researchers on the world stage.”
SHIP-In is one of three Alsatian R&D projects to have been selected by the French government, following a seventh call for projects issued in September 2008. Three organisations based in Alsace: the biotech company Polyplus Transfection, the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology, a biomedical research centre, and the Institut Charles Sadron, are involved in the project.
