The MarMaRa institute relies on 36 research teams within 13 laboratories and connects around 200 people from Aix Marseille Université, the Centrale Marseille School, the INSERM (French national institute for health and medical research), the CNRS and the AP-HM. We also have 2 faculties (university training entities) with around 150 master’s students on specialisations attached to our institute and 5 partner doctoral schools in our scope, with around 50 PhD students per year completing their theses within our research teams.
