The scientific and technological offering from the Carnot LISA institute is based around three subject areas offering, a wide range of skills:

 Axe 1 : Nutrition - Health and Food Safety

 Axe 2 : Health and Biomolecules

 Axe 3 : Green Chemistry and Bioenergies
 
 
 

IC LISA’s areas of research cover a wide range of scientific and technological challenges in connection with economic and social issues such as food, nutrition, health, green chemistry and new sources of energy.
