The Institut de Biomécanique Humaine Georges Charpak (IBHGC) is a French research institute located in Paris. It was formerly called the laboratory of biomechanics ( French: laboratoire de biomécanique) or LBM until 2013. [1] [2] It is under the authority of Arts et Métiers ParisTech. [3] It is part of the Carnot Institute ARTS [4] and currently employs more than 50 persons. It is officially recognized by the CNRS as a host research team (équipe d'acceuil n°4494).
The main part of the research is focused on the following lines :
The laboratory is divided in five research teams, which have their own field of research :
The LBM is working either with academic or industrial scientific partners. On the European scale, the laboratory is enrolled in 3 initiatives such as the CRAFT-Devaspim project which aims to develop a new kind of vertebral implants. [5] The laboratory is also behind the invention of the EOS imaging system in partnership with the Nobel Prize Georges Charpak.
The laboratory has many "high-tech" apparatuses, especially in the field of medical imaging. Among them, the EOS system that it developed and improved recently. [6] It also have access to special equipment of the Hospital Henri Mondor, which includes a test platform for moves and walk.
The 20000+ square meters building of the laboratory was completely renewed in 2013.
