We are thrilled to host Dr. Isidro Cortés-Ciriano (@ebi.embl.org/ @sangerinstitute.bsky.social) for our weekly Monday Seminar.
He's sharing important insights on multimodal cfDNA profiling and novel single-molecule sequencing approaches for minimally invasive liquid biopsies in paediatric tumours. 🧬
Happening now at @institutimagine! 🔬 Prof. Elisa Oricchio (Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research) is taking the stage for our Monday Seminar.
She's diving into how integrating linear & 3D genomic analyses helps us understand tumor evolution & design new therapies. 🧬

🧫 Wrapping up today's fantastic MAGIC seminar is @manusingh.bsky.social (@inem-necker.bsky.social). His talk: "Single-Cell Mapping of the Reawakening of Ancient Foes in Ageing Disorders." A deep dive into the molecular & cellular mechanisms of Alzheimer. Thanks to all speakers & see you next week! 🧪
🔒 How do we advance research while protecting patients? Simon Lévesque (@usherbrooke.bsky.social – Québec & @upcite.bsky.social) is taking the MAGIC stage to tackle "Federated Learning and Data Privacy." Crucial concepts for collaborative science and privacy-protection! 🧵
📊 Next up at MAGIC: Antonio Rausell from right here at #InstitutImagine. He is discussing his latest work: "Predicting digenic interactions in rare diseases using graph neural networks." A powerful AI approach to complex genetics. 🧵
🧬 We are LIVE at the weekly MAGIC seminar at Imagine! Kicking us off is @joshwaterfall.bsky.social (@institutcurie.bsky.social ) presenting "Improved Out of Distribution Embeddings with AutoEncoders." Fascinating insights into computational biology! 🧵
Familial lupus associated with a P2RY8 variant: navigating the boundary between monogenic disease and genetic susceptibility to #lupus. New report from Clémence David, Marie-Louise Frémond @institutimagine.bsky.social and colleagues: rupress.org/jhi/article/...

David, Frémond @institutimagine.bsky.social et al. identify a heterozygous P2RY8 E323G substitution in a father and son with cutaneous #lupus and enhanced type I #interferon signaling supports a role for P2RY8 in lupus causation rupress.org/jhi/article/...
How do “super-avoiders” manage to stay cancer-free?
Set up to investigate this is Paul Bastard and team ATLAS – one of five newly funded teams awarded $25m (£20m) through Cancer Grand Challenges.

🏆 Le Pr Polak a reçu le prix Gilberte et Jacques Tacussel, récompensant le travail clinique et de recherche à long terme mené par toute son équipe sur le diabète du très jeune enfant, menant à découvrir les propriétés neuro-protectrices de molécules insulino-sécrétrices.
Institut Imagine is proud to lead a clinical research project named “EU-IFNp”, coordinated by Professor Marie-Louise Frémond. This is a multicentric European study dedicated to children and adults with genetic type I interferonopathies (IFNp-I) : www.institutimagine.org/en/eu-ifnp-e...
🔴 Happening NOW at Institut Imagine! Dr. Mira Kassouf (WIMM, @ox.ac.uk) is presenting our Monday Seminar: "The role of facilitators in super-enhancers and gene regulation." 🧬 She is presenting her fascinating research on the intricacies of gene control! #Genetics #InstitutImagine
Le Colloque « Génétique et Société » a réuni hier à l’Institut Imagine scientifiques, médecins, philosophes et représentants de la société civile, en partenariat avec le CCNE et l’Agence de la Biomédecine.
🔚 Clôture du colloque ! Pr Bana Jabri, Dr Marine Jeantet et Pr J.-F. Delfraissy partagent leurs ultimes réflexions sur l'évolution de la bioéthique en France. Merci de nous avoir suivis ! 👋
✨ "Entre puissance, sagesse et compassion : quel avenir pour le vivant ?" Matthieu Ricard, généticien de formation et moine bouddhiste, nous offre cet après-midi un regard croisé inspirant sur notre rapport au progrès. 🌱
🎙️ Pr J.-F. Delfraissy (CCNE) ouvre les débats : "Bioéthique, États Généraux, un enjeu de démocratie". Il rappelle une idée forte : refuser d'assumer le progrès, c'est risquer de renoncer à notre capacité d'agir. ⚖️
🔴 C'est parti pour le colloque "Génétique et Société" (42e Séminaire P. Royer) ! Ouverture de cette riche journée par le Pr Bana Jabri (Inst. Imagine) et le Dr Marine Jeantet (Agence de la Biomédecine). Suivez notre live ! 🧬
👏 Congratulations to Maria Alejandra Lizarralde-Iragorri on being awarded the highly prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship!
Maria will be carrying out her research in Hermine Laboratory, under the co-supervision of Sara El Hoss and Thiago Trovati Maciel.

@esidsociety.bsky.social
Welcome aboard! We're incredibly happy to have you as part of Imagine! 🎉
I am very happy to share that I've started my new position @upcite.bsky.social and opened my lab @institutimagine.bsky.social 🎉
In the lab we will study how differences in X-linked gene dosage between the sexes affect fetal growth and survival and contribute to sex differences later in life 👩🔬🧪🧬🧫
