National meeting on lymphomes - Cancer treatments and cognition, Plateform activities

      A l’occasion du 5^ème colloque national sur les lymphomes, qui s’est tenu à Nantes le 10 février 2018, les Drs Hélène Castel et Marie Lange ont présenté l’état des lieux sur l’impact du cancer et des traitements sur les fonctions cognitives des patients atteints de cancer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGelbvZPJk4), ainsi que les activités de la plate-forme Normande Cancer et Cognition (http://www.canceretcognition.fr/). Une table ronde a fait suite aux présentations pour échanger avec les patients et les proches touchés par la maladie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXBf__qBxUY)

 

 

Microsurgery equipment - 2017 November 

 

 

    Au mois de novembre 2017, le Géfluc Normandie et le crédit Agricole Seine ont remis officiellement à L'équipe Astrocyte et Niche Vasculaire une subvention de 16 000 euros pour l'achat d'un poste de microchirurgie dédié à la recherche de nouvelles stratégies thérapeutiques pour lutter contre les tumeurs du cerveau. Une visite du laboratoire et des explications sur les différentes recherches et protocoles menés par l'équipe ont pu être proposés à cette occasion.

 

 

Call for application - June 2017 Assistant Professor-Neurosciences-Rouen Normandie

 

Assistant Professor in Neurosciences-Neuro-oncology at the Normandie Rouen University

    The University of Rouen Normandie nurtures internationally strong social and economic links in the fields of energies, aeronautics, logistics, transports and mobility, cosmetology and health. It plays a major role in terms of innovation, through learning institutes, clusters and competitive hubs. The Institute for Research and Innovation in Biomedicine (IRIB - FED4220) is a Federative Structure of Research regrouping all the resources of biomedical research in Haute-Normandie with the objective to develop a high-level biomedical research particularly focused on the understanding of disease physiopathology and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools thanks to the complementarities of clinicians, biologists and chemists of the Normandie Rouen University.

Tenure track as Assistant Professor in Neurosciences- Neuro-oncology

Required basic qualifications:
Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent degree at the time of application. French candidates must be qualified in one of the following sections: 65, Biologie cellulaire; 66, Physiologie; 69, Neurosciences.

Research

    The candidate will join the team Astrocyte and Vascular Niche within the UMR1239 INSERM, DC2N, Rouen. The general objective of the project is to tackle the glial tumor-brain interface in an original angle by developing molecular and cellular approaches and animal models, particularly by means of electrophysiological and in vivo brain imaging. The candidate must possess a solid expertise in neurophysiology, cell signaling with skills in electrophysiological techniques and/or dynamic imaging in vivo. The mastery of molecular tools to target brain/tumor cell populations will be a plus. The candidate will have free access to the local platforms and services of imaging, proteomic, genomic of IRIB federation, to the expertise of the team and of the platform Cancer and Cognition, and will benefit from the infrastructures available in the central animal facility of the UFR Sciences and Techniques.

Teaching

    The Assistant professor will teach in the field of Neurosciences and Animal Physiology, including electrophysiology and cellular and molecular neurobiology. She or he will be involved in teaching and mentoring neurosciences and physiology skills, participate to international education and exchanges with foreign researchers involved in international training, and be associated with the development of innovative teaching tools (Tice, e-Learning, etc.) and continuing education.
    The courses concerned are the "Life Sciences", in particular "Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Cellular and Physiology", "Sciences for Health" and the Master "Neurosciences" in the "Neuroscience molecular, cellular and integrated" course. Involvement is expected in international thematic schools and new translational training streams.

Host Team:

    The candidate will develop his work in the laboratory of Neuronal and Neuroendocrine Cell Communication and Differentiation (Inserm U1239, Dir. Y. Anouar) whose research is focused on cerebral and neuroendocrine pathologies. The candidate will integrate the "Astrocyte and Vascular Niche" team (Dr. H Castel), whose work focuses on the cellular and pathophysiological mechanisms that control brain tumorigenesis (proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, resistance to treatment) and impact of cancer and/or cancer therapies on the functions of the central nervous system. The general objective of the team is to understand the determinants of the invasion of the cerebral parenchyma by glial tumor cells and to seek new therapeutic approaches by combining cellular and animal models up to clinical studies.
