Amandine Guérin and Lauriane Sollelis, PhD students of ParaFrap, were awarded the best poster prize for their work presented at the "2015 (26th) Annual Molecular Parasitology Meeting" (Woods Hole, USA). Two out of the six laureates, among 150 posters, are from our LabEx. Congratulations !!
Find out more about these posters, visit the MPM2015 conference website (see "2015 abstract book").
Dr Mohamed Ali-Hakimi, a LabEx ParaFrap partner, is the laureate for the National Junior Awards of the 2015 Sanofi - Institut Pasteur Awards.
He is distinguished for his research on the functioning of the parasite responsible for toxoplasmosis. An Awards Ceremony took place on Wednesday, November 4th of 2015 at the Pasteur Institute in Paris.

ParaFrap is organizing the ParaFrap Next Generation in Parasitology Workshop for the first time in 2024. It aims to support the new generation of European parasitologists in developing their collaboration networks and raising awareness about funding opportunities. This inaugural edition, scheduled to take place from September 30th to October 3rd, 2024 in the Grenoble region, is being organized by two young researchers from the ParaFrap network: Christopher Swale (IAB, Grenoble) and Jessica Bryant (Institut Pasteur, Paris), with assistance from Mohamed-Ali Hakimi and Artur Sherf. The workshop will include a scientific session open to all attendees, where 12 junior PIs (10 selected by the organizing committee and 2 by the organizers) will present their research. Following this, the 12 young scientists will take part in a retreat focused on new technologies. Registration for the scientific session is free but mandatory, and includes participation in the scientific presentations, lunch on Monday, and coffee breaks. Registration deadline: September 4th, 2024. |

The Proteomics and modified peptide platform was inaugurated on April 17th 2014.
It's a new tool for the LabEx ParaFrap community, Pasteur Institute of Lille and to national and international academic and private laboratories. With this platform, parasitologists of the LabEx ParaFrap community can improve proteome studies and understand the complex relationships between proteins in parasites and those of the infected patients .

Stéphanie Blandin, ParaFrap Member, "Chargée de recherche" at Inserm Unit 963 (Immune Response and Insect Development - Postgenomic Analysis of Anopheles Antigens) in the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biologyof Strasbourg was awarded the Young Investigator's Sanofi-Institut Pasteur Prize for outstanding research on mosquito resistance to malaria.
Her research focuses on malaria, an infectious disease that causes nearly one million deaths each year in the world. Means of control exist: antimalarial drugs and control of the mosquitoes vectors of the parasite Plasmodium. But for several years, parasites are increasingly resistant to drugs, and mosquitoes develop resistance to insecticides. Stéphanie Blandin is working on the immune response of the mosquito Anopheles to these parasites. S. Blandin seeks to understand the genetic factors responsible for the resistance of mosquitoes to parasite infection, to develop new strategies that will limit transmission to humans in endemic areas.
This award was presented to her on November 13, 2012 in Paris. Click here
