By exploring the diversity of the structure and composition of pancreatic cancers, Rémy Nicolle wants to identify avenues that will rapidly bring new treatments to patients. This translational research, which combines genomics, transcriptomics and artificial intelligence, was selected as part of the Atip-Avenir program in 2022. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma accounts for 85% of all pancreatic cancers. It is […]

Better diagnosis, innovative treatments, the research into childhood cancers by Olivier Delattre – a full-time researcher but a pediatrician at heart – has paid off. His insatiable curiosity and tenacity in unraveling the mysteries of these diseases have earned him the Grand Prize. Once a pediatrician, always a pediatrician « Back when I was choosing what to […]

Mass spectrometry is used to study the conformation of molecules and their interactions. From this analytical chemistry tool, which is over 100 years old, chemist Valérie Gabelica is making an innovative device for plunging into the heart of DNA and RNA. Work that has earned her the Research Prize. A new lease of life for mass […]

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a serious inflammatory disease that affects and gradually destroys the liver. It is a more advanced form of another condition known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is characterized by a build-up of fats in the same organ. By deciphering the mechanisms associated with the transition from NAFLD to NASH, […]

As key inflammation regulators, neutrophils are up there with all the other immune cells. An essential role that Véronique Witko-Sarsat has been helping to define for the past thirty years. Her research, which has not always been straightforward, has recently been awarded the International Association of Inflammation Societies’ Woman in Science prize. After receiving the […]

Following her initial training in materials science, Claire Valotteau quickly turned her focus to biology: she has just obtained Atip-Avenir funding in order to study the mechanics of circulating tumor cells. This involves the researcher using extremely powerful analysis tools and developing new ones. How do embryonic cells move and reorganize themselves to form organs? What […]

In Nantes, Jean-Baptiste Dupont is developing in vitro models of human muscles using cells from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The researcher has two goals: improve the study of this hereditary muscle disease and test gene therapies in development – both thanks to organoids that will enable more reliable observations than those obtained using the […]

On the strength of its national initiatives, Inserm has recently launched an international collaboration program to reinforce knowledge in the field of aging... The objective being twofold: to understand how our cells age and to provide new avenues for staying healthy for longer. Is aging a partially programmed process or the result of chaotic events […]

From his beginnings in molecular biology to the neuroscience research conducted by his unit, Denis Vivien’s career has been remarkable. Curious and determined, he has never ceased to set up research projects and structures at the cutting edge of innovation and he has been entrusted with numerous academic responsibilities. Today, his fundamental discoveries on the […]

The lymphatic system, which ensures waste disposal and the immune surveillance of many tissues, is less well-known than its counterpart, the blood system. Barbara Garmy-Susini, from the Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases in Toulouse, has been working to remedy this injustice for the past 15 years. How does the lymphatic system work? How should it […]
