The 11th French Society of Angiogenesis meeting that will be held the 4-6 June 2025.

This meeting will take place in Autrans (Vercors), in the mountains close to Grenoble.

The program delves into emerging fields in vascular biology, including blood vessel heterogeneity, their formation, stability, and dysfunctions in diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular conditions. It highlights recent advances in tools and models for rapid clinical applications.

The program will be supported by international experts, including two keynote speakers, Prof. Shahin Rafii of Cornell University, USA, and Prof. Martin Schwartz of Yale University, USA as well as renowned European guest speakers.

PRELIMINARY WORKSHOP PROGRAM

The 1st edition of the International Symposium of Institut Curie, From basic science to cancer research will be held on May 15, 16 and 17, 2024, at the Maison de la Chimie, in Paris. This Symposium aims to bring together 700 participants, biologists, chemists, physicists, clinicians, experts in basic science or in cancerology, from the United States, Europe or Asia. All will meet in a historic and prestigious venue: the Maison de la Chimie, in the heart of Paris to attend internationally renowned speakers’ conferences. You will have the opportunity to meet and exchange with Charles Swanton from the Francis Crick Institute (UK), Edith Heard from the EMBL (DE) or Yasmine Belkaid from Institut Pasteur (FR), and many others to be found here: https://www.curiesymposium.fr/speakers/.

For its first edition, the symposium will include four sessions dedicated respectively to evolution, genetics, immunity and systems biology, as well as a final session entitled “Science has great beauty” in homage to Marie Curie.

The RIC (Réseau d’Imagerie Cellulaire Paris-Saclay) is pleased to invite you to a one-hour
visioconference.
D. Slavka Kascakova will discuss her research themes in the biomedical field and her
technological approaches using different lines of the SOLEIL Synchrotron (Source Optimisée
de Lumière d’Énergie Intermédiaire du LURE ) in St Aubin.
Currently Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine (Université Paris-Saclay) and UPSaclay’s
academic representative on the European university alliance EUGLOH, Slavka Kascakova
works as a researcher at the Centre Hépato-Biliaire of the Hôpital Paul Brousse in Villejuif.
Her main lines of research are aimed at diagnosing liver diseases, characterizing liver
transplants for patients, and developing therapeutic strategies for fulminant hepatitis and
primary liver cancers, thanks in particular to the use of multimodal spectroscopic approaches
at the Synchrotron.

The use of fluorescence microscopy (wide field, confocal, multiphoton, and now superresolution) in combination with genetically encoded fluorescence probes comprise a powerful set of scientific tools to study live cells. However, surprising little practical and theoretical training in such methods exists within standard curricula, particular at the early stage of training (Masters or Doctorate level). This course offers to cover basic optics principles necessary to understand the origin of microscope resolution and design. Participants will get hands-on experience implementing simple optical configurations to illustrate these fundamental principles. Subsequently, participants will perform experiments on state-of-the-art imaging equipment provided by microscope vendors.

Lectures will cover, in depth, the principle behind traditional high resolution imaging methods such as confocal, multi-photon, and the recently developed super-resolutions methods. Students will also learn about fundamental properties of synthetic and genetically encoded fluorescence indicators used for cellular morphology imaging and signaling recording. Finally guest lectures will demonstrate applications of some of the discussed methodologies.

This course is intended for Master’s students and international PhD students who expect to be using advanced live cell fluorescence microscopy for future studies.

Master 2 students from partner Universities (Sorbonne University and University of Paris Cité) MUST NOT register online and must submit their registration request DIRECTLY to contacts in charge of their university course. These students have free access to the course.

All other students must register online and pay their registration fees.
