Center of expertise and development in Metabolomics, Lipidomics & Fluxomics

Wide offer of cutting edge tools and powerful environment for metabolism investigation

MetaToul is co-funder of National Infrastructure of Metabolomic & Fluxomic MetaboHUB

About us…

Metatoul, created in 2007 by Pr Jean-Charles Portais, is a multi-organisms platform (INRAE, CNRS, INSERM, INSA, University of Toulouse, Toulouse Hospitals), CNOC and IBiSA labeled and recognized as a National strategic platform by the INRAE. Metatoul is also supported by the Région Occitanie, Toulouse métropole, SICOVAL, Research department and Europe (FEDER). Metatoul takes part of the Génopole Toulouse, which aims to create a network of technologic platforms in the field of health biology.

With about 50 people working on a daily basis, MetaToul brings together complementary scientific and technical skills (biochemistry, chemistry, bioinformatics, biostatistics, automation, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, chromatography….)
