Meryem Baghdadi receives ERC Starting Grant 2025 for her project ENCODE
Starting Grants 2025
Meryem Baghdadi's research focuses on stem cells and their environment: the “niche.” She obtained her PhD in 2017 at the Pasteur Institute, where she conducted research on muscle stem cells. After her thesis, she continued her research in Toronto, Canada, at SickKids, this time focusing on intestinal stem cells and their regeneration. Since 2022, she has been a research fellow at the CNRS at the Institut Curie, where she is exploring the role of the mechanical niche in the regulation of intestinal stem cells.
