Special Back-to-back Seminar - Aging & Neuropathologies - PART 1/2
Seminar topic: Elucidating Neuroinflammatory Mechanisms Underlying Diabetes-Linked Cognitive Dysfunction.
Clémentine Le Magnen
Dr. Le Magnen completed her PhD studies at the University of Basel in December 2012, in the laboratory of Prof. Giulio Spagnoli (Department of Biomedicine) where she studied tumor-initiating cell populations in human prostate cancer. She then pursued a postdoctoral training (2013-2018) in the renowned laboratory of Prof. Cory Abate-Shen at Columbia University Medical Center in NYC, which mainly focused on the role of the homeobox factor NKX3.1 in prostate differentiation and prostate cancer initiation (Dutta and Le Magnen et al., Science 2016; Le Magnen et al., Dis Model Mech 2018).
Wrap-up of the 2025 Science Festival
✨ Wrap-up of the 2025 Science Festival at INEM! ✨
On Saturday, October 4, the Necker Institute for Sick Children opened its doors to the public and turned into a space for exchanges and discoveries between researchers and visitors.
Thanks to the energy and commitment of our volunteers, more than 140 curious minds of all ages were able to explore research through interactive workshops.
On October 9 and 10, INEM welcomed school groups:
La Science en Fête
The Necker Institute for Sick Children invites you to discover science in all its forms through workshops and games in its laboratories.
Come and play detective with microscopic, genetic, or even bacterial mysteries! Explore the miniature world of a cell, or express your artistic creativity using laboratory materials. Put on a lab coat, handle equipment, observe, imagine… and enjoy a fun and surprising science-filled experience!
New publication from the Membramics Lab: how influenza virus hijacks ER lipid metabolism to export its genome
Researchers from the Membramics Lab, in collaboration with teams at Institut Pasteur and the Institute of Psychiatry and Neuroscience of Paris, have uncovered a novel mechanism by which Influenza A virus (IAV) manipulates host cell membranes to ensure the export of its genome.
New publication in Cell Reports from the Membramics Lab
Congratulations to Juliane da Graça, former PhD student in the Membramics Lab, and co-authors on their new study published in Cell Reports.
The paper sheds light on how interactions between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and endosomes contribute to the early stages of autophagy. The authors show that during nutrient stress, these organelle contact sites form specialized environments that support the initiation of phagophore formation, the first step in autophagosome biogenesis.
Key findings:
Juliane Da Graça awarded the 2025 Beth Levine Thesis Prize
We are pleased to share that Juliane Da Graça, former PhD student at INEM under the supervision of Etienne Morel, has been awarded the prestigious 2025 Beth Levine Thesis Prize, which recognizes outstanding doctoral research in the field of autophagy.
