On December 1, 2024, Garance officially joined UNR PhAN as a PhD student, to study the effect of chia seed supplementation during gestation and lactation, 1) on the health of obese mothers, and 2) on the health of their offspring, in the short term and into adulthood, both in terms of improved neurodevelopment and prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Marie-Cécile Alexandre-Gouabau, Véronique Ferchaud-Roucher, Dominique Darmaun and Norbert Winer, researchers and clinicians at the UMR PhAN, conducted a study to determine whether oral L-citrulline supplementation would prolong the delay between diagnosis and delivery in preeclamptic women.

Paul Bobin, a 4th year PhD student, took part in the Journées Francophones de Recherche en Néonatologie (NEWCAP Event) in Paris on 5 and 6 December. During the Developmental Biology session, he presented some of the results of his thesis on the adaptation of endocrine function in offspring during the breastfeeding period, when they are exposed to perinatal hyperglycaemia. During the plenary session, the Scientific Committee of the Société Française de Néonatologie awarded her the SFN research grant. This grant will enable him to finance his salary for a further 6 months. He also received the prize for the best abstract in the Developmental Biology session.
