The decision to create a research institute with strong ties to the Sainte-Anne Hospital results from the strategic goal of integrating basic and clinical research in psychiatry and neuroscience.
The IPNP bridges the gap between basic and clinical research to understand psychiatric and neurological defects with strong ties with Sainte-Anne Hospital’s main clinical domains.
Our mission is to :
I. To understand how the brain works at all levels, from molecular mechanisms to cells, from neuronal networks to whole organ through innovative and interdisciplinary research, considering both normal brain functions and psychiatric / neurological diseases.
II. To promote the transfer of research and discovery into medical advances for neurological and psychiatric diseases, such as the development of new therapeutics, devices or diagnostics.
III. To train the next generation of physicians and scientists to conduct collaborative and creative science.
Under the leadership of Dr Thierry Galli, appointed the director of the unit in September 2015, a profound restructuring/reorganization of the previous institute (CPN, Centre de Psychiatry and Neuroscience) led to the foundation of the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurosciences of Paris (IPNP) in 2019. The new institute is located in a building dedicated to experimental research, with laboratory and office space, technological core facilities, administration and meeting rooms.
This building of 4300 m² was extensively renovated (operation of ~15 M€) and opened in the fall of 2017. The institute gathers an interdisciplinary community of over 230 basic and clinical neuroscientists, as well as faculty members working on:
Using approaches from molecular and cellular biology to cognitive and translational neuroscience.
The IPNP hosts junior and senior researchers, as well as spin-off firms to support the promotion of research and technology transfer.
The IPNP provides core facilities and services to ensure that its teams have access to the most advanced technologies, allowing the development of modern psychiatric and neuroscience research projects.
