We are pleased to announce that our very own Aurélien Sokal, has been awarded the 2023 Prix de la Chancellerie des Universités de Paris in the Medicine category. His thesis on the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination is an important contribution to medical science.

Under the guidance of Prof Matthieu Mahévas, Aurélien's work demonstrates the high standard of research conducted at our institute. This recognition is a significant achievement and reflects the dedication and hard work of our academic community.

To start the year on an inspiring note, we are proud to spotlight a new episode from the renowned INSERM's Paroles de Chercheurs series. This episode shines a spotlight on the work of Julien Diana, research director at INSERM and group leader at INEM, as he delves into the fascinating world of autoimmune diabetes and the pivotal role played by gut microbiota.
