We are proud to announce that Matthieu Mahévas, leader of the Autoimmune and B cells immune responses team at INEM, has been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant for his project, DIPP-IMMUNE: Dissecting Protective and Pathogenic Long-lasting Humoral Immunity.
The DIPP-IMMUNE project aims to uncover critical mechanisms behind long-term humoral immunity, focusing on three key questions:
Congratulations to Khaled Tighanimine, for receiving the prestigious Prix de la Chancellerie des Universités de Paris - Prix Solennel de Thèse en Sciences! Khaled's remarkable doctoral work, supervised by Mario Pende and Stefano Fumagalli, explores metabolic adaptations in senescent cells, with a focus on glycerol-3-phosphate and phosphoethanolamine as key actors in lipid remodeling during senescence induction.
This recognition highlights the impactful research happening at INEM. Well done, Khaled, on this well-deserved achievement!
Our Institute proudly celebrates Ganna Panasyuk for receiving the prestigious Sir George K. Radda Outstanding Young Investigator Award at the 2024 Singapore Symposium on Brain-Body Interactions & Neuroscience (November 4–6, 2024, A*STAR Institute, Singapore).
This award honors Dr. Panasyuk’s research on metabolism and signaling in the physiology of diverse organs—a testament to the exceptional work of the Panasyuk Lab.
Congratulations, Ganna, on this remarkable achievement!
We are proud to announce that Mario Pende, head of the Cell growth control by nutrients lab, has received the prestigious Gaston Rousseau Prize for his research on nutrient metabolism and its effects on cell growth, proliferation, and senescence. His work has shed light on metabolic changes that explain why senescent cells accumulate fat in lipid droplets rather than using it for cell membrane construction during growth.
On November 21-22, the Institut Necker Enfants Malades (INEM) celebrated a decade of research excellence with its 10-Year Birthday Symposium: Molecular and Cellular Metabolism in Health and Disease. This milestone event brought together researchers, young scientists, and collaborators to share advances, foster discussions, and highlight the importance of metabolism research.
KEYNOTE LECTURES
The symposium featured inspiring keynote lectures from three distinguished speakers:
We are proud to celebrate Meryem Baghdadi's recognition with the prestigious ATIP-Avenir Award supported by Fondation Bettencourt Schueller, for her research on the mechanical properties of the intestinal stem cells niche and their role during embryonic development and in disease.
This award not only underscores the excellence of her project but also supports the establishment of her independent research group at INEM.
We are pleased to announce that the Mechanisms of Nutrient Sensing lab, headed by Ganna Panasyuk, has been awarded the ANR-PRCI 2024 grant, a collaborative project co-funded by ANR (French National Research Agency) and DFG (German Research Foundation).
Walking through the Tumor: A Small Step for Immune Cells, a Giant Leap for Cancer Treatment
On October 11th and 12th, Institut Necker Enfants Malades hosted its very first edition of the Science Festival, opening its doors to the public for the first time. This milestone event allowed visitors to discover scientific research through interactive workshops, offering a unique behind-the-scenes look at our labs and scientists.
Institut Necker Enfants Malades invites you to uncover the mysteries of science through interactive workshops. Dive into a vibrant array of hands-on activities, interactive exhibitions, and mind-boggling scientific demonstrations.
