Summer School

The second IMRB Summer School took place in the magnificent setting of the Domaine de Frémigny in the south of Essonne, France, from July 6 to 8, 2022.

Dedicated to environmental stress and its influence on health and disease, we proposed four main sessions on the ENVIRONMENT as a major source of communicable diseases:

1. zoonotic diseases and infections;
2. the exposome;
3. exposome-epigenetic interactions; and
4. agencies and their role in prevention and sustainability.

Organized by the IMRB and the Metatox team of the Université de Paris Cité, it brought together more than thirty master students, doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, …

The participants then went to the Domaine de Frémigny where this edition took place with no less than eighteen speakers who followed one another during these three days.

Two poster sessions were held, as well as a competition for the best oral presentation where ten doctoral students selected according to their abstracts had three minutes to present their research project.

IMRB Summer School, July 3-5, 2019 – ANSES headquarters, Maisons-Alfort, Paris Region

The first edition of the IMRB International Summer University took place from 3 to July 2019 at the ANSES headquarters in Maisons-Alfort. It was devoted to environmental stress in the development of chronic diseases. Four main sessions were proposed:

1. nutritional stress and infection in the development of diseases;
2. pollution and inflammation in chronic diseases;
3. molecular mechanisms of inflammation; and
4. role of environmental agencies and start-ups in combating the burden of chronic diseases.

Each session was an opportunity to hear from CIRM and foreign researchers at the forefront of the proposed scientific themes, as well as representatives of French and European environmental agencies and start-ups.

A visit to the environmental laboratory at the University of Paris Est, a workshop on project design and short presentations from selected abstracts are integrated in the program, enabling young researchers to work directly with senior investigators to promote their scientific training.
