ARTE-Thema investigative report on neonicotinoids and insects, with interviews of J.-M. Bonmatin

On September 22, 2023, at 9:25 a.m., ARTE rebroadcasts an investigative report as part of its THEMA evenings entitled: Insecticide - How agrochemicals killed insects.

This report was filmed at the Centre for Molecular Biophysics of the CNRS with several interviews with Jean-Marc Bonmatin, as well as with other members of the Task Force on Systemic Pesticides (http://www.tfsp.info/en/) interviewed in several countries.

The report is based on the book published in 2019 by journalist Stéphane Foucart of Le Monde which was entitled "Et le monde devint silencieux". The ARTE report is available in six languages.

Conference by Prof. Ken LAU and Dr Andrea ROLONG – June 5, 2023

This international conference is organized within the framework of the ARD CVL Biomedicaments Program.

Abstract: Tissue complexity emerges from interactions of components across various biological systems, such as exogenous factors from the microbiota and different types of host cells, and the body's immune cells to the presence of tumors. These interactions occur across genetic, molecular, and spatial domains. Although single-cell and spatial -omics approaches are already capable of profiling various components at an atlas scale, there is still a significant gap in effectively transforming these methods from correlative studies to hypothesis-driven studies. Here, we present two stories on how-omic level data and computational analyzes can be integrated with experimental models (human, mouse, and organoid) for mechanistic studies:

- in understanding rare epithelial cell populations in modulating inflammation in the gut,

- in modeling a pre-cancer-to-cancer transition in the colon. We present emerging techniques, analyses, and the key roles they play in understanding the complex interactions that dictate tissue function in homeostasis and disease.

The League Against Cancer supports research carried out at the CBM and the INEM

The committees of the Grand Ouest Cancer League bringing together Brittany, Pays de la Loire, Centre-Val de Loire and Poitou-Charentes pool their resources to support cancer researchers.

On Tuesday 7 February at the CBM, La Ligue contre le cancer officially presented a check for €146,000 to support 6 teams of researchers from the CBM and the INEM (Laboratory of Experimental and Molecular Immunology and Neurogenetics). The projects supported aim to quickly achieve concrete results for the benefit of patients.

The committees of Loiret (represented by its volunteer Administrator, Doctor Jean-Louis Vaur) and Eure-et-Loir (represented by its volunteer Vice-President Mr. Jacques Dautreme) were present. The Loir-et-Cher, Cher and Morbihan committees, which are also funders, could not be present but indicated that they were happy to be able to contribute to the financing of regional research.

Mr. Jean-Marc Schneider from La République du Center came to immortalize this moment by going around the table allowing everyone to present their project as well as the benefits and progress to come.

Eva Jakab Toth has received the “Rudolf Fabinyi” Prize of the Hungarian Chemical Society

Eva Jakab Toth, co-coordinator of the “Metal Complexes and MRI” team, has received the “Rudolf Fabinyi” Prize from the Hungarian Chemical Society.

This Prize, named after the founder and the first president of the Hungarian Chemical Society, is attributed to a chemist working abroad for his/her remarkable contribution to enhance the visibility of Hungarian chemical research. Eva Jakab Toth is the 10th person to receive this Prize.

The Prize ceremony took place on the 2nd Dec. 2022 in Debrecen, Hungary, followed by a scientific conference given by Eva Jakab Toth.
