Cell Worlds, an international scientific adventure:
Necessary for the development of the works, Terence & Renaud have woven an international network of scientists inclined to share their images and their themes beyond the scientific community. This network is now made up of 25 laboratories of excellence from world-renowned institutes (CNRS, Institut Curie, Institut Pasteur, HHMI, Harvard, etc.). This unique network emerged on the basis of two criteria:
their desire to share science in new areas;
their excellence in microscopy technology. Beyond the images, the project team exchanges with the scientists, taking into account their constraints, in order to co-construct a work whose scientific content reflects the state of the art in a given field.
