The LISM (Laboratoire d'Ingénierie des Systèmes Macromoléculaires) is the successor of the laboratory founded in 1992 by Claude LAZDUNSKI. The original laboratory housed a group of researchers working on the large multi-protein complexes of the bacterial enveloppe - their structure dynamics and engineering for biotechnological ends. This thematic has remained central to the laboratory.

The LISM serves as one of the major partners of the iGEM Aix-Marseille University organization. Director James STURGIS is the main pillar and the founding father of the organization housed by the LISM. LISM belongs to the CNRS.
