A network of lipid-transfer proteins at the crossroads between metabolism and signallingLipid metabolism attracts much attention owing to the pleiotropic roles of lipids and their implication in human pathologies, and this interest motivates growing efforts dedicated to cataloguing the lipidome. However, all aspects of lipid function rely on their heterogeneous distribution in livin... |
Developmental reprogramming: how to make an epigenetically "naïve" state“Epigenetic reprogramming encompasses changes in nuclear architecture and epigenetic modifications that eventually lead to a shift in gene expression profile” |
The Integration of Polarized Membrane Traffic and Cytoskeleton Dynamics: from epithelial cell polarity to cell migrationThe establishment and maintenance of cell polarity is one of the key functions required successful organ morphogenesis and function. Polarized endocytic membrane transport and cytoskeleton dynamics have emerged as main regulators during cell polarization. In this talk I will overview our recent w... |
 From Wednesday, May 23rd, 2018 To Thursday, May 24th, 2018 - EU-Life seminar EU-LIFE Scientific Meeting 2018EU-LIFE is an alliance of independent European research institutes in the life-sciences, striving to create an environment that stimulates excellence in research through sharing best practices and expertise in research organization and management. It is a voice for independent research institutes... |
Architecture and dynamics of meiotic chromosome structures and recombination sitesResearch in the Villeneuve lab is aimed at understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the faithful inheritance eukaryotic chromosomes. Our primary focus is on elucidating the events required for the orderly segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, the crucial proc... |
A burgeoning field : the essential role of the gut microbiome in cancer therapeuticsMay 24 , 11.30 am Amphi BURG |
DNA replication stress and cancerGenomic instability is one of the most important factors driving cancer progression and resistance to therapy. Oncogenes, by inducing DNA replication stress, are a critical factor underlying genomic instability in cancer, but the mechanisms by which oncogenes cause DNA replication stress have rem... |
Pacific Biosciences Sequencing technology at Institut CurieAgenda: * An introduction to the PacBio SMRT Sequencing technology and its applications for Human Biomedical Research (45 min) by Déborah Moine and David Stucki, PacBio Field Application Scientists * PacBio implementation at the NGS platform (20 m... |
Ligands for the immune activating receptor NKG2D: different features affecting NK cell responseNatural Killer (NK) cells play a key role in tumor control, and recognition by the activating receptor NKG2D of its ligands is particularly important for this activity, since although absent on healthy cells, NKG2D ligands (NKG2D-L) are expressed by stressed cells in different pathological situat... |
Weizmann Institut of Science and Institut Curie Biological Physics DaysThis joint workshop aims at presenting the advancement and novel discoveries made in the field of Biological Physics, spanning all scales from molecules to cells to tissues to organisms, at the Institut Curie (and surrounding Institutions such as the ESPCI and ENS) and at the Weizmann Institute o... |
