The SFR in a few figures

No fewer than 400 people contribute daily to the life of SFR ICAT, including nearly 250 researchers and lecturer-researchers, more than 100 research support staff (technicians, engineers, etc.) and around 60 PhD students. The momentum created by the training of our future doctors within the site's laboratories, strongly supported by the supervisory bodies, is one of the keys to the success of the research projects developed.

 The site's structure is based on 12 research units/teams and a policy of pooling technological resources distributed across 6 platforms.

 Scientific production is substantial and of a high standard, with an average of 400-700 original articles each year, some of which appear in prestigious journals (The Lancet Group, Cell Press, NPG, ScienceMag).

 The University of Angers is currently ranked among the top 300-400 universities in the world in the field of clinical medicine (source Shanghai, 2025).
