WELCOME TO PBIL LYON-GERLAND !

The PBIL-IBCP Lyon-Gerland is the protein part of the Pôle BioInformatique Lyonnais. The PBIL was created in January 1998 in collaboration with Dr. M.Gouy's team. The PBIL Lyon-Gerland, located at the Institute of Biology and Chemistry of Proteins (IBCP UMR 5086), is developing :

• Several methods dedicated to protein secondary structure prediction

• Detection of fuzzy motifs  in protein sequences 

• Automatic molecular modeling tools (Geno3D)

• Protein sequence analysis software (ANTHEPROT, MPSA)

• Hepatitis C virus database (HCVDB)

• Integrated Webware (NPS@)

• Search Algorithm for searching similar 3D sites in protein structures (SuMo)
• "GRIDification" of  bioinformatics tools

The bioinformatics activities in Région-Rhônes Alpes has been funded by a contractual plan ("Plan Etat-Région" or CPER). This CPER associates 3 laboratories:

• Equipe de Bioinformatique et Génomique Evolutive resp. M. Gouy [PBIL-BBE] (UMR 5558 Dir. C. GAUTIER)
• Equipe de Bioinformatique et RMN structurales (LBRS) resp. G. Deléage [PBIL-IBCP] (IBCP UMR 5086 Dir. AJ COZZONE)

• Equipe Helix resp. F. Reichenman (INRIA Rhône-Alpes)

The main goal of this CPER  was to create a "centre" able to play a significant role at both the national and international levels.Two building expansions were planned for the PBIL (Pôle Bioinformatique Lyonnais).

For PBIL-IBCP (representing the upper floor of the IBCP new status, the expansion has been achieved in october 2003.
