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
