For the first time ever, we had gorgeous weather during the Retreat! No rain! Exciting times with posters from all team and Adrien presenting. And of course, the team kept the tradition: all Chaplins!
Heart Valve Society Sitges, Spain
Sergiy and Nabila participated where they presented recent work on mitral valve genomics and met friends from the mitral valve network, especially the Chip Norris lab
Opération Desitination Labo Inserm
We received pupils and explained to them how to extract DNAs from saliva. Nabila coordinated this Sci Comm action at the PARCC with great PhD students from the lab.
Congratulations Lu!
Lu earned a 3 years PhD fellowship from the Chinese Scientific Council and she will pursue her Ph.D. using this highly competitive funding starting Oct 2019
Welcome to new postdoc and master student Feb 2019
In February 2019 we welcomed Takiy-Eddine Berrandou, PhD. Takiy joined the statistical genetics forces and he will be involved in GWAS of FMD and SCAD.
Dana Federici joined also in February for a Master intership of 6 months. She worked with Adrien and the functional genomics group
Lab annual dinner January 2019
November 2019 two new members joined!
Welcome to Délia Dupré, molecular biology and genetics experiments and Lu Liu, PhD student from China.
African Academy of Sciences Fellowship Election Dec 2018, Pretoria South Africa
Mengyao Baby Shower Sept 2018
Couscous Party before the summer break 2018
PARCC retreat in Normandy 2018
Fun diners! Mengyao presented and almost won the presentation prize...Adrien presented the FMD work.
New Year Dinner : we had a hotpot recommended by Mengyao!!
Partners and kids and even former members joined! It was freezing in Paris but a super nice evening. Hotpot was too much food but very nice, as usual. Thanks, Mengyao for arranging this!
March 2018: Welcome Romain Glandier, new computational manager
Romain joined the ERC team and is helping with computational aspects of the projet. He has experience with sequencing data and is willing to learn genetics and genomics analyses. Welcome!
Feb-April 2018: Marie-Caroline Delebeque
Marie-Caroline stayed with us for 3 months and she was so efficient in helping for the ethical and legal tasks for the ERC projects. We learned a lot from her and enjoyed working with such a great professional. She is now our legs adviser for the rest of the project, even if she has moved to different projects. It was a pleasure working with you!
Feb 2018: Siying left the lab
After 2 years with us, Siying left for a new adventure outside academia. She is now exploring machine learning tools in a counseling company, Paris area. Siying was a valuable analyst for the FMD GWAS work. She has so many other skills that you can admire here (Xmas decoration and always having the "fève" during the PARCC annual "Galette" party.
Sept 2017: Welcome Adrien Georges and Sergiy Kyryachenko!
The team was reinforced by the arrival of two experimented molecular biologists to work on how to link genetic loci to genes at FMD and SCAD loci (Adrien) and MVP loci (Sergiy)
January 2017: Welcome Thomas Cloatre!
Thomas is a recently graduated Master2 in biotechnology and will become our research assistant to work on functional genomics of FMD susceptibility genes through the ERC-funded ROSALIND projet. He has experience with cell biology and is excited to lear functional genomics techniques with us. He will start on March and we are all looking forward to welcoming him!
ERC grant is mentioned in a News Magazine for European Life Sciences

Scientific Sessions AHA 2016
This autumn, Nabila Bouatia-Naji and Mengyao Yu attended this huge and exciting meeting in New Orleans. We enjoyed our time during the Functional Genomics and Translational Biology (FGTB) activities, especially gathering with the early career committee members where Nabila is a vice-chair.
November 2016: Congratulations to Mengyao! AHA Travel Award
During our participation, Mengyao was awarded the American Heart Association FGTB Council International Travel Award. Here she is receiving her commemorative certificate from Svati Shah, FGTB Chair 2016.
We had a lot of fun, we celebrated Mengyao's price with her first American burger and lobster and visited the Louis Armstrong Park in a November sunny day!
July 2016: Romuald's PhD defense day
July 2016, during the defense, Soto Romuald looked very serious and focused on the jury's questions (Emmanuelle Genin, Brest University, Stéphanie Debette, Bordeaux University, Hervé Perdry, Paris-Sud University, Alexandre Persu, Université Catholique de Louvain, Xavier Jeunemaitre and Nabila Bouatia-Naji, Inserm Paris).
He was much more relaxed once he became Dr Kiando, Congratulations!!!
June 2016: "Grandes Avancées en Biologie 2016, Institut De France"
Nabila, Siham, Siying, Mengyao, June and Waed 21st June 2016
We did some scientific tourism in front of the Instute de France, Pont des Arts, Paris.
We then enjoyed fantastic conferences on cytoskeleton kinetic assembly, new immunity mechanism
of transfer of antiviral particules in HIV, microbiota role in food behavior, neurological control of false
souvenirs in mouse model, a nano crossbow defense system in bacteria and molecular evidence
for cocktail effect on endocrine disruptors. Great program, great venue!
International students and postdocs enjoyed half program delivered in English!
June 2016: Welcome Siying Huang!
Siying is our new postdoc. After a PhD on environmental sciences at University of Michigan and a first postdoc on genetic epidemiology in Canadian Families in Toronto, Siying will work on the genetics and epidemiology of FMD with us. She is intrigued by the several mysteries of this vascular disease and also French language, and food.
