Spotlight on molecular docking Molecular docking is a computational method used to predict the three-dimensional structure of molecular complexes, by simulating the interaction between a target molecule, often a protein, and a ligand, such as a potential drug. By identifying the most favorable position of the ligand…

Research Day: Graduation projects 2024 At EBI, students are trained by and for research. Throughout the Bachelor’s and Engineering programs, they discover the experimental approach through practical work. At the end of the cycle, whatever their chosen specialization, they work in teams for a…

Spotlight on sensory panels Sensory analysis studies our sensory perceptions in response to exposure to a product. It enables us to measure, describe and compare a product’s sensory characteristics, such as its appearance, smell, taste, texture and the sounds it makes. Relying on scientific methods and tools adapted to…

Spotlight on rare diseases: hereditary connective tissue disorders On May 11, 2023, Dr Raed Lattouf successfully defended his doctoral thesis at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Université Saint Joseph de Beyrouth (USJ), an EBI partner.

How are black holes created? by Romain Codur, teacher-researcher at EBI. Black holes are fascinating astrophysical objects. For a century, they have fascinated the general public as well as physicists the world over, who continue to study them with great interest. One of the remaining mysteries is their formation, which…

Exploring molecular interactions for tissue engineering On Thursday June 29, 2023, our colleague Jad EID spoke at theJournées Ouvertes en Biologie, Informatique et Mathématiques (JOBIM), the annual event of the Société Française de Bioinformatique dedicated to…

EBI and its partner USPN in La Vague, the Pharma and Biotech magazine published by A3P. Turn to page 39 of issue 77, dedicated to gene and cell therapies, to find out how we are developing a new preventive approach to reduce microbial infections using metal oxide nanoparticles… >>>…

Spotlight on acne and skin microbiota Acne is a common skin inflammation that primarily affects teenagers, but also some adults. An inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous follicle, it is characterized by an increase in sebum production associated with the obstruction of hair follicles and the proliferation of microorganisms…

Spotlight on the sensorial performance of “natural” cosmetics Supported by ISO:16128 of 2018, the cosmetics industry has long been prepared to use processes and ingredients derived from green chemistry to formulate natural products in compliance with regulatory criteria in order to limit danger to people and ecosystems. Natural fats are…

Spotlight on sensory evaluation An international benchmark in the sensory evaluation of non-food products thanks to its panels, EBI is developing its research activities in line with the expectations of its industrial partners, in order to accelerate innovation in increasingly dynamic markets. How to boost and…
