Health technologies

The primary goal of this workshop is to support early-career researchers in shaping their short- and mid-term career plans. Participants will also benefit from mentors’ feedback to refine their ongoing projects and enhance the quality of their future publications.

This two-day mentoring workshop will focus on cutting-edge research in Health technologies. Designed to foster meaningful exchanges, the event combines a small-group format and full-board accommodation in a carefully selected venue to encourage interaction between junior and senior scientists and to strengthen the networking between GSO labs.

Selected candidates will have the opportunity to present and discuss their work with experts in the field, including:

• Anne-Marie GUE – CNRS research director (LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse)
• Cécile MARTINAT – INSERM research director (I-Stem, Paris)
• Nathalie MIGNET – CNRS research director (UTCBS, Paris)
• Raghavendra PALANKAR – University of Medicine (Greifswald, Germany) & Senior Editor Nature Nanotechnology
• Dimitris VISVIKIS – INSERM research director (LATIM, Brest)

Approximately 10 postdoctoral researchers and early-career scientists, affiliated with Greater South-West Labs, will be selected for personalized coaching on their career development and research.

• Timing in relation to professional deadlines (e.g. INSERM or CNRS applications)
• Candidates’ resume
• Scientific quality of the candidate’s project(s)

Abstracts related (but not only) to the following themes are welcome including:

• • Nano-Oncology & Chemical Biology: nanomedicine, drug delivery systems, molecular probes, flow chemistry, theranostics (targeting strategies, liquid biopsies, molecular engineering, biomarkers, detection technologies, innovative therapies, drug design)

• • Biofabrication: 3D models, spheroids, tumor- and organ-on-a-chip, bioprinting, biomaterials, cellular and tissue engineering (tumor microenvironment, extracellular matrix, predictive medicine, regenerative medicine)

• • Imaging & Radiotherapy: instrumentation, lasers, sensors, photonics, radiation–matter interactions, signal and image processing, multiscale imaging resolution, novel contrast mechanisms, imaging agents (medical and biological imaging, therapy, diagnostics, radiomics, and computational simulations)

• • Modeling, Computing & Artificial Intelligence: big data analytics, algorithm development, adaptive medicine, bioinformatics (healthcare data, clinical data warehouses, machine learning, patient pathway analysis)

Registration and accomodation are free for selected candidates and participants, conditional on attendance.
A deposit of 100 € will be requested. It will be cashed in if the participant does not show up at the workshop.
All workshop participants will be hosted in AéroCampus, Latresne (30min by bus from Gare St Jean Bordeaux)
