Scientific symposium - Research into the first 1000 days and DOHaD in 2025

The aim of this symposium, organised by Hervé Blottière, DU of UMR 1280 PhAN, will be to take stock of research on the first 1,000 days of life and the concept of the Developmental Origin of Health and Disease (DOHaD). The work carried out at UMR PhAN on this theme will be particularly highlighted. External speakers will also be invited. The first 1,000 days of life, including pregnancy, are a critical period in the development of the foetus, the newborn and the child, but also contribute to their future health. We will discuss how early events (foetal and neonatal periods) such as malnutrition, exposure to xenobiotics (drugs, pesticides) and the metabolic status of parents increase the risk of illnesses later in life, including cardiometabolic, inflammatory and psychiatric diseases. The focus will be on the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The importance of placental flow and maternal milk will also be discussed. The deadline for registration is May 11.

Welcome to Anne-Lyse PANHELEUX

Anne-Lyse Panhéleux has been an INRAE research technician since 2008. After starting at the BioGEVES laboratory in Magneraud, she joined the UR BIA on the site of La Geraudiere in Nantes in 2017. Recently, Anne-Lyse joined UMR PhAN on a mobility scheme. Initially specialized in molecular biology for the detection and quantification of GMOs in seeds and plants (maize, rapeseed, soy), her career path has enabled her to diversify her analytical activities, particularly in plant biochemistry. At PhAN, Anne-Lyse has taken charge of gas chromatography for the determination of lipids and bacterial metabolites. She adapts to the analytical needs of PhAN's research themes around perinatal nutrition, the physiology of the functions of the microbial-gut-brain axis and metabolism. Anne-Lyse is a prevention assistant and a member of the unit's Corporate Social Responsibility group. The PhAN Unit is delighted to welcome Anne-Lyse, whose skills are invaluable for scientific projects and our team. We wish her a warm welcome and a long life at PhAN !

Welcome to Carla Leiva Rodríguez

We are delighted to welcome Carla Leiva, Rodríguez for a research internship in the framework of a collaborative project between the UMR PhAN, the Department of Neonatology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Chile. Carla is a nutritionist specialised in clinical paediatrics. She possesses a Master's degree in nutritional sciences and is currently preparing a PhD in the same field. During her stay at UMR PhAN, Carla will be contributing to research aimed at determining the mechanisms involved in the beneficial effects of maternal DHA supplementation during pregnancy on the health of the offspring using, in particular, a bio-collection of human plasma and milk. This research is jointly coordinated by Paola Casanello from the Catholic University of Chile and Francisco Bolaños from PhAN.

Feedback from the PhAN workshop at Researchers' Night

On 6 February 2025, our research unit had the pleasure of taking part in the 9th Researchers' Night, organised by Nantes University, on the theme of ‘Metamorphoses’. During the event, we had the pleasure of hosting the great goose game on the diet of the first 1,000 days. The evening was an opportunity to share our work with the general public and discuss the key role of food during this period of intense change, which shapes our long-term health. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to the organisers and participants for these mutually enriching moments.

SysMics interdisciplinary research project

UMR 1280 PhAN is involved in the SysMics (Towards Systems medicine based on multi-oMics) research project. The aim of SysMics is to bring together laboratories in Nantes to promote the integration of data from genomic screening with other data (molecular, biological and clinical), enabling the development of new biomedical approaches. The Labex will work on four objectives: to strengthen the synergy of research efforts in genetics, genomics and bioinformatics applied to genetic diseases, chronic pathologies and cancer; to develop predictive models; to build international training in systems biology/medicine; and to promote multi-omics approaches in translational research, and ultimately in clinical practice. Coordinated by Richard REDON (Thorax Institute - Nantes University / Inserm / CNRS / Nantes University Hospital) Main players involved: PHAN, Institut du thorax, CR2TI, CRCI2NA, TENS, RMES, TARGET, CEISAM, LS2N, SFR Bonamy, CIC 1413
