Depuis plusieurs années, le mois de septembre est dédié à la lutte contre les cancers de l’enfant, de l'adolescent et du jeune adulte (AJA). Pour parvenir à guérir plus et mieux, parlez en autour de vous et faites entendre la voix des enfants malades.

Let's start with @guixe-m.bsky.social from @irbbarcelona.org. Her work focuses on the origin of second malignancies in children or the factors underlying the response to immunotherapies.

Looking forward to listening to her talk!

Here we go again!! 🤩

Today is the first day of Youth4Kids 2025!!! An online congress organized by the young researchers of @r4knetwork.bsky.social. Great keynote speakers, selected talks from young researchers and the highlight of the event, the Youth4Kids Doctoral Grant Competition!!!
Looking for heart shapes in the lab and in life in general.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it.
One day I’ll be able to take beautiful pictures of cells and reveal their inner workings like @christlet.bsky.social.

Until then, I’ll keep looking for heart shapes in tumor spheroids to please @marionlegrand.bsky.social.

Congrats to Florent, our Master student, for this great entry

For the first time of the year, the whole team got together for the #REMAP4Kids Mini-Symposium.

Full afternoon of short presentations to highlight the different projects ongoing in the team. Very exciting to see how our team is progressing over the years, thanks to our collaborations & funders.

Today, members of @r4knetwork.bsky.social gave presentations to school pupils all across the country.

We’re teaching young kids about medical research & what it means to be a scientist.

Always a great pleasure and even more so with our brand new lab member @mathilde-krh.bsky.social 🤩.
Des moments toujours riches et passionnants. Vivement l’an prochain 😊.

Une semaine dans toute la France pour sensibiliser 2500 enfants, en hommage aux 2500 enfants et adolescents diagnostiqués chaque année en France avec un cancer.

Un petit galet peint est symboliquement remis à chaque enfant avec l’idée que contre le cancer, chacun peut amener sa pierre.
Chaque année au mois de Mars, sous l’impulsion 2500 Voix les chercheurs du réseau React4Kids se mobilisent pour sensibiliser les enfants des classes primaires et collèges sur la recherche, le cancer et leur donner envie de s’engager dans des métiers au service des autres.

Our collabs are the best!

Headed by Laura Broutier from CRCL & funded by INCa, this collaborative project uses patient-derived tumoroids, drug screening and mathematical modeling to develop more effective treatments for #Rhabdomyosarcoma.

This is so @southrock.bsky.social 🤩

Every single one of these meetings is an absolute pleasure.

I feel privileged to coordinate this Center of Excellence with @marie-castets.bsky.social and to get to build collaborative projects with the likes of @cedricmaurange.bsky.social @delloye-bourgeois.bsky.social & many more not on BlueSky.
Yesterday, we held one of our regular steering committee meetings with all the clinicians and researchers in charge of our scientific program.

The occasion to reflect on our first year of existence and prioritize our actions for year 2.

Watch this space in 2025!

A world free of discrimination, where diversity would be a strength and not weakness. A world where all children, all women, all human beings would be free from violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect. A world where kindness, tolerance and empathy would be great values, the most important ones.
Today is the International Women's Day 2025.

The world we are currently living in scared me a little more every day, but collectively, I still do think that we can make a difference.

I wish we could live in a gender equal world.

Today, I protested against Trump administration’s science policies.
Science, all types of science, shapes our world, our futur world. We need to protect it. Science always matters.
