法国国家科学研究中心生物科学研究所（INSB）为法国国家科学研究中心的下属研究单位。

法国国家科学研究中心生物科学研究所（INSB）的研究领域包括从原子到生物分子，从细胞到整个有机体以及人群，它致力于破译人类复杂性的所有生物学研究。

科研中心的研究单位规模一般较小，它们主要有三种类型：直属研究单位（UPR）、协作研究单位（UPA）、混合研究单位（UMR）。第一种类型单位是科研中心本身所属的研究机构，其人员、经费均来自科研中心本身。后两种类型的研究单位是CNRS与高等院校和法国其它部门联合组建的研究机构，在人员与经费方面的投入由参与方在组建时协商确定。

法国多学科研究的首要机构-CNRS在科学、技术与社会各领域中开展研究工作。它涵盖了科学领域的所有方面：数学、物理、信息与通讯科学技术、核物理和高能物理、地球和宇宙科学、化学、生命科学、人文与社会科学、环境科学以及工程科学。这些学科被分配在九所机构中，这些机构在各自的活动领域中发展协调各自的研究工作

法国科研组织系统与中国有所区别。CNRS类似中国科学院，但同时它与法国大学及其他研究机构都保持着密切联系，包括法国原子能委员会 (CEA)、法国国家空间研究中心 (CNES)、法国农业科学研究院 (INRA)、法国国家信息与自动化研究所 (INRIA)、法国研究与发展研究所 (IRD)、法国国家健康与医学研究院 (INSERM)、巴斯德研究所、法国人文科学之家 (MSH)，以及国有大型企业等。 因此，1200个研究及服务单位遍布在法国大地上，大约90%联系于大学、机构及企业。

The Institute for Biological Sciences (INSB) is a research unit of CNRS.

From atoms to biomolecules, from cells to whole organisms as well as the human population, INSB is dedicated to all biological studies that decipher human complexity.

Research units in research centers are generally small in size, and they mainly fall into three types: directly affiliated research units (UPR), collaborative research units (UPA), and mixed research units (UMR). The first type of unit is the research institution affiliated to the research center itself, whose personnel and funds come from the research center itself. The latter two types of research units are jointly established by CNRS, universities and other French departments, and the input in personnel and funds shall be negotiated by the participants at the time of establishment.

CNRS, France's premier institution for multidisciplinary research, conducts research in the fields of science, technology and society. It covers all aspects of science: mathematics, physics, Information and communication science and technology, nuclear and high-energy physics, Earth and space sciences, chemistry, life sciences, humanities and social sciences, environmental sciences, and engineering sciences. These disciplines are divided among nine institutions which develop and coordinate their research efforts in their respective areas of activity

The French research organization system is different from China's. The CNRS is similar to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but at the same time it maintains close links with French universities and other research institutions, They include CEA, CNES, INRA, INRIA, IRD, and the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), the Pasteur Institute, the French Institut des Humanes (MSH), and large state-owned enterprises. As a result, there are 1,200 research and service units across the country, about 90% of which are linked to universities, institutions and businesses.
