This morning, we had the pleasure to welcome Dr Clara Savary from @hmriaustralia.bsky.social.

She is currently working on deciphering the resistance mechanisms of ONC201 in DIPG.

Well done Clara and the whole team led by Dr Matt Dun. 👏

📣 Youth4Kids 2025 🎗️

Let's start with @guixe-m.bsky.social from @irbbarcelona.org. Her work focuses on the origin of second malignancies in children or the factors underlying the response to immunotherapies.

Looking forward to listening to her talk!

Looking for heart shapes in the lab and in life in general.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it.
One day I’ll be able to take beautiful pictures of cells and reveal their inner workings like @christlet.bsky.social.

Until then, I’ll keep looking for heart shapes in tumor spheroids to please @marionlegrand.bsky.social.

Congrats to Florent, our Master student, for this great entry

For the first time of the year, the whole team got together for the #REMAP4Kids Mini-Symposium.

Full afternoon of short presentations to highlight the different projects ongoing in the team. Very exciting to see how our team is progressing over the years, thanks to our collaborations & funders.

Today, members of @r4knetwork.bsky.social gave presentations to school pupils all across the country.

We’re teaching young kids about medical research & what it means to be a scientist.

Always a great pleasure and even more so with our brand new lab member @mathilde-krh.bsky.social 🤩.

Our collabs are the best!

Headed by Laura Broutier from CRCL & funded by INCa, this collaborative project uses patient-derived tumoroids, drug screening and mathematical modeling to develop more effective treatments for #Rhabdomyosarcoma.

This is so @southrock.bsky.social 🤩

Every single one of these meetings is an absolute pleasure.

I feel privileged to coordinate this Center of Excellence with @marie-castets.bsky.social and to get to build collaborative projects with the likes of @cedricmaurange.bsky.social @delloye-bourgeois.bsky.social & many more not on BlueSky.
Yesterday, we held one of our regular steering committee meetings with all the clinicians and researchers in charge of our scientific program.

The occasion to reflect on our first year of existence and prioritize our actions for year 2.

Watch this space in 2025!

It’s the start of a new week.

But we still want more labcoats and less white robes.

We need to keep standing up for science!

Today is the International Women's Day 2025.

The world we are currently living in scared me a little more every day, but collectively, I still do think that we can make a difference.

I wish we could live in a gender equal world.

Today, I protested against Trump administration’s science policies.
Science, all types of science, shapes our world, our futur world. We need to protect it. Science always matters.
