Access to the Institut Galien Paris-Saclay

Located on the Plateau de Saclay, the IGPS is part of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Université Paris-Saclay. In 2022, the IGPS moved to a new building called Henri Moissan, also known as the Biology-Pharmacy-Chemistry Hub, which houses research laboratories as well as teaching spaces for undergraduate and master’s programmes.

You can reach the IGPS by public transport or by car.
