Stem cells, Disease modeling and Neuroregeneration

Dans son édition du vendredi 31 mai 2024, La Provence mettait l'INP à l'honneur dans son dossier sur la maladie d'Alzheimer. Le Pr Mathieu Ceccaldi (Service de Neurologie et Neuropsychologie Adultes & équipe 9) était interrogé sur les nouveaux traitements, pendant que François Devred (équipe 9) et Santiago Rivera (équipe 1) étaient eux interrogés sur les travaux des "six équipes qui bossent à temps plein dans ce "gros" laboratoire français de recherche sur Alzheimer"

Dr Nasab Reda joins Team 6 as a post-doctoral researcher on a one-year project with an industrial partner.

She will be in charge of setting up a cellular model to study the effects of modulating a receptor of interest to the partner.

The Vaincre Alzheimer foundation came to shoot a short video in our laboratory to explain the progress of our research and to look back on a project funded in 2019 by the foundation that seeks to answer this question: how can we control neuroinflammation to prevent Alzheimer's disease in people carrying a risk factor like APOE4 ?

Watch the video here ! 

Team 6 was happy to participate in NeuroMarseille's day, which took place on June 28, 2022.

Many members of the INP attended this scientific and friendly day for the neuroscience community. 

Our M1 student, Marine Dos Santos, also presented her one-month work in our team, during the afternoon poster session. 

We thank NeuroMarseille for this great day !

After two years of being postponed, INP Day #2 finally took place on Friday, June 3rd. 

A huge congrats and thank you to the organizing team (including our engineer Louise) for persevering and making this day a success!

Team 6 took the opportunity of this cheerful day to take a picture, with Marine our intern who is a M1 student. 

Chaque mois, NeuroMarseille publie sur son site internet les initiatives en développement durable (DD) d'un laboratoire de NeuroMarseille. Cette série est appelée "Green*tips" et donne la parole chaque mois à un·e référent·e du groupe de travail NeuroGreen de NeuroMarseille (9 laboratoires, plus ceux des équipes associées du MMG, de l’ISM et de l’institut Fresnel). 

Don't miss the next Neuro'binar of NeuroMarseille with Emmanuel Nivet (Team 6) !

Next Tuesday, on March 22nd, 2022, at 1 pm online, discover Dr Emmanuel Nivet's work in the 13th edition of Neuro'binar:

🔘  Emmanuel Nivet (INP) will present his research topic entitled: "Human induced pluripotent stem cells to study the role of astrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease"

We are please to welcome Guillaume Benhora-Chabeaux for his 5-month Master internship (2nd year) in the Nivet team. After obtaining a first Master degree in Cognitive Science (MASCO) from the Aix-Marseille University, with the highest honours, Guillaume has enrolled the Master in Neuroscience (cellular and molecular neuroscience). Guillaume will be working on the crosstalk between inflammation and a susceptibility to neurodegeneration using in vitro and in vivo models.

Dr Emmanuel Nivet has been appointed as a new member of the European Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of a joint organization unifying the Alzheimer Forschung Initiative e.V. (AFI), Germany, Alzheimer Nederland (AN), The Netherlands and Fondation Vaincre Alzheimer (FVA), France. Each of the above organizations is dedicated to funding dementia research in its own country.

On October, the 21st, Emmanuel was invited to give a talk during the 2021 meeting organized by the French Club of Glial Cells. Emmanuel had the chance to present the latest and exciting results of the NIVET team by giving a talk during a symposium dedicated on Glial cells in Brain diseases. Emmanuel's talk was entitled: "Human-iPSC-astrocytes reveal a pro-inflammatory axis under the control of the APOE4 genetic risk factor in Alzheimer's disease".
