Partners & Organisation

The PSB Partners

The Partnership for Structural Biology (PSB) was established by a Memorandum of Understanding in 2002 by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) and the Institut de Biologie Structurale (IBS) to provide a unique environment for state-of-the-art integrated structural biology.

• Who are the signatories of the PSB Memorandum of Understanding?

  The MoU was signed by the directors of the EMBL, ESRF, ILL and, on behalf of the IBS, by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the Commissariat à l’Energie atomique et aux Energies alternatives (CEA) and the Université Grenoble-Alpes (UGA).

• Who are the members of the PSB?

  The PSB comprises about 300 active scientists (staff scientists, students and post-docs and technicians) from the EMBL Grenoble, the ESRF Structural Biology group, the ILL Life Sciences group and the Institut de Biologie Structurale

PSB Organisation

PSB is governed at the highest level by a Steering Committee comprising representatives of each partner. A Science Board guides the scientific policy of the PSB. An external international Scientific Advisory Board reviews the PSB every three years.

Members of the Steering Committee
Martin Blackledge (IBS), Christel Carles (UGA, observer), Stephen Cusack (EMBL), Kristina Djinovic Carugo (EMBL), Darren Hart (ISBG, observer), Jacques Jestin (ILL), Michael Krisch (ESRF, Chair), José Márquez (EMBL), Agata Pernus Voigt (EMBL), Francesco Sette (ESRF), Winfried Weissenhorn (IBS)

Members of the Science Board
Juliette Devos (ILL), Wojtek Galej (EMBL), Darren Hart (ISBG, Observer), Andrew McCarthy (Chair, EMBL), Max Nanao (ESRF), Carlo Petosa (IBS), Malene Ringkjøbing Jensen (IBS), Montserrat Soler Lopez (ESRF)

Members of the Scientific Advisory Board
Robert Gilbert (Oxford University, UK), Birthe Kragelund (University of Copenhagen, DK), Sandra Macedo-Ribeiro (University of Porto, PT), Andrea Mattevi (University of Pavia, IT), Guillermo Montoya (University of Copenhagen, DK), Lori Passmore (MRC-LMB Cambridge, UK), Henning Stahlberg (Chair - École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL, CH)
