Kick off meeting EMBRC-France
EMBRC-France a pour objectifs :
• De développer à partir de ces 3 structures une infrastructure intégrée qui permettra d’optimiser les opportunités offertes aux chercheurs français et internationaux de mener des recherches sur les écosystèmes marins en utilisant toutes les technologies de pointe.
• D’augmenter l’accès à cette infrastructure en centralisant et mutualisant les processus.
• D’améliorer les domaines d’excellence en biologie marine en développant des approches de génomique
• De préparer l’intégration à l’infrastructure de recherche européenne (EMBRC) en structurant le réseau français.

Company of Biologists Workshop
New Technologies and Applications for Genome Engineering
Technologies for manipulating the genomes of many cell types are being developed at an increasingly rapid rate using a variety of DNA engineering tools. Current capabilities range from making predesigned nucleotide changes in a gene (single nucleotide changes, insertions, deletions), to generating large scale chromosomal rearrangements including syntenic replacements with foreign chromosomal DNA, and recently to creating an entirely artificial functioning genome. The potential for genome engineering is huge with many applications, for example: to create microorganisms with novel synthetic capabilities; to create via embryonic stem cell manipulation animal models to understand gene function and human disease; and by modification of human somatic cells to correct genetic defects in strategies for therapeutic intervention.
Technologies for genome engineering derive in many cases from adapting naturally occurring in-vivo recombination systems such as homologous recombination, site-specific recombination and transposition to the cell types of interest, and in addition creating entirely novel systems such as zinc finger nucleases by protein engineering. Collectively these provide a sophisticated genetic engineering tool kit that makes possible in principle the design of any desired sequence specific genome manipulation. This workshop will bring together the experts who have pioneered these and emerging technologies in genome engineering together with leaders in their implementation in diverse fields encompassing studies in fundamental biology to biotechnological and biomedical applications. It is anticipated that this will stimulate further thinking into new approaches or refinements to these technologies and exciting ideas for their future application.

Fondation Mérieux Workshop
Animal models and relevance predictivity : how to better leverage the knowledge of the veterinarian field ?
Biomedical research, as an experimental science, has been relying on animal models. Although some animal-based models have been claimed not to be relevant and ethical, by working on comparative anatomy and physiology, major progress in medicine has occurred. Infectious agents, which ignore species boundaries, can be equally studied in animals and in humans. The deciphering of the human genome and those of several animal and vegetal species provides a tremendous development of biological science. As with any models, predictivity does not mean direct transposition of results. However, similarities between species are relevant enough to permit translational research, from the cells and tissues to animals, then to humans.The objective of the workshop is to review the importance of the animals in the basic and applied research, the interactions between veterinary medicine and human medicine, the susceptibility to common infectious diseases as illustrated by the concept of "one world, one health".
