We-Met

The We-Met platform started in 2015 at the Institute of Metabolic and Cardiovascular Diseases (I2MC – Inserm U1297) in Toulouse.

The aim of this platform has always been to provide the very latest innovative technologies and technical support in functional biochemistry. The platform provides 3 major axis of technologies : automated capillary Simple Western, biomarkers discovery and the study of cell metabolism by the Seahorse analyser.
