Stamatia Liakopoulou from Anyo Labs is at INSERM-Dijon and enjoying a Fika, Dijon-style. Alongside the scientific exchange and research activities, these moments offer a great opportunity to strengthen collaboration and share experiences within the #CHIRONProject.
#Secondment #ResearchCollaboration
The #CHIRONProject members, including PhD students and professors, held an online meeting to discuss the latest results and future plans in the areas of in silico modeling, chemical synthesis, and biological assays.
Looking forward to the next steps and continued collaboration.
📢 New Insight from #CHIRONProject Partner e-NIOS
e-NIOS has just published a deep dive into one of the biggest hurdles in drug discovery: the “Black Box” problem of AI interpretation.
We are pleased to share that a review article authored by one of the #CHIRONProject partners, Dr. Eva Szegezdi (GALWAY) and her students, Javid Sabour Takanlu and Leonie Durkan, has been published.
Dr. Olivier Micheau (INSERM) is currently on secondment at #CHIRONProject partner Anyo Labs (Gothenburg), where he presented his work, “TRAILs to Cancer Therapy.” The visit supported scientific exchange and collaboration.

During the visit, Dr. El Alaoui was introduced to the organic chemistry laboratories, and discussions were held on the synthetic aspects of small-molecule inhibitors within the framework of the #CHIRONProject.
As part of our #CHIRONProject, Dr. Erika Bálint and Dr. Béla Mátravölgyi from Budapest University of Technology and Economics had the opportunity to complete a secondment at COVALAB in Lyon.
A moment captured with #CHIRONProject partner COVALAB during Pink October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 💗
The message remains vital: awareness, early detection, solidarity.
Early detection saves lives.

#CHIRONProject members held an online meeting to review recent developments and coordinate the upcoming activities.
We appreciate their ongoing engagement and collaboration throughout the process.
This lecture explores how inflammation both protects the body and drives cancer, focusing on its impact on the tumor microenvironment and highlighting new findings on IL-33 in colorectal cancer.

💫As #CHIRONProject, in collaboration with Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center and RareBoost, we completed the lecture “Introduction to Immunology” by Dr. Gerhard Wingender.
A look back at a dinner in Athens with #CHIRONProject partners Dr. Eleftherios Pilalis, Dr. Philippe Krebs and Dr. Aristotelis Chatziioannou.
The collaboration and insights shared on that occasion continue to support the project’s progress💫
Within the conference, Dr. Chatziioannou chaired Session S.16 “Genes–Proteins”, where he introduced VarOmeter, an integrative platform developed within the #CHIRONProject for the functional annotation of non-coding genetic variants and the exploration of their regulatory roles in complex traits.
✨It was great to see #CHIRONProject partner Dr. Philippe Krebs presenting at the Biomedical Research Foundation, Academy of Athens!
The talk, titled "𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗺: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝘂𝗰𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗿", explored how the mucosal barrier balances homeostasis and inflammation.
As #CHIRONProject, we successfully completed an inspiring session with Prof. Fahri Saatçıoğlu from the University of Oslo, as part of the Teaching & Training Series in cooperation with IBG & RareBoost.
✨We’re delighted to welcome Maria Despoina Liassa (from e-NIOS) to the Wingender Lab at IBG as part of her secondment within the #CHIRONProject!
It’s a pleasure to have her join the team and share her expertise and enthusiasm.
During his visit to our partner Dr. Micheau (INSERM, Dijon, France), Dr. Wingender (IBG, Izmir, Turkey) had the opportunity to introduce our #CHIRONProject and IBG's contribution to it at CTM's annual scientific meeting (3.10.25) of the Center for Translational and Molecular Medicine (CTM, Dijon).
A glimpse from our project partners in Athens💫
Discussing the circuitry of immune cell subtypes in cancer on a rainy Athenian day. Fantastic to see this collaboration in motion!

After a long day of insightful discussions on bioinformatic approaches to deciphering the role of TRAIL/DRs in the tumour microenvironment with #CHIRONProject partner Dr. Eleftherios Pilalis (eNIOS, Greece), the #IBG team rounded off the evening with a delightful dinner by the Izmir bay.
✨We are glad to see #CHIRONProject secondees Javid and Wanshan from #Galway starting their two-month secondment at #INSERM Dijon, where they will work under the supervision of Olivier Micheau.
to spread to the lungs. Furthermore, these TRAIL+ blood vesicles were better at predicting lung metastasis than current clinical markers.
This study provides another interesting example of how TRAIL can influence the immune system, something the #CHIRONProject consortium is investigating as well.
#CHIRONProject partner Dr. Eva Szegezdi (University of Galway) gave a talk titled “TRAIL engineered NK cells for the treatment of lymphoma” at the Biseach Meeting-the annual collaborative meeting between the Harper Cancer Research Institute, the University of Notre Dame and the University of Galway.
Dr. Wingender, immunologist, Group Leader at the Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center, and the coordinator of #CHIRONProject, presented a great seminar for PhD students with the title of 'The immune system and the role of iNKT cells' at the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology at the BME✨
✨New study published by #CHIRONProject partner Olivier Micheau, Université Bourgogne Europe, CTM Dijon INSERM, DesCarTes team, ICB, ICMUB – Institute of Molecular Chemistry of Université Bourgogne Europe, and Université de Franche-Comté👏
#CHIRONProject partner Dr. Wingender (IBG) introduced the immune system and its role in diseases like cancer during the ACUGEN student congress in Istanbul, Acıbadem University (19-20.4.2025)✨
