Three students defended their PhD thesis this year: Guillaume Baptist [1] , Sara Berthoumieux [2] , and Jérôme Izard [3] . One of the papers derived from the work of Sara Berthoumieux was accepted for Molecular Systems Biology [7] .

The collaborative project RESET was accepted in the Bioinformatics call of the Investissements d'Avenir program. RESET joins seven partners, including the company Metabolic Explorer SA, and runs until 2016. RESET studies the gene expression machinery in bacteria, by means of models and experiments, and develops biotechnological applications based on the control of the gene expression machinery.

Former IBIS member Caroline Ranquet and Johannes Geiselmann created, with Marie-Gabrielle Jouan (Floralis, Université Joseph Fourier), the start-up company BGene, active in the field of DNA engineering.
