New Approaches to Maternal Mortality In Africa

Millennium Development Goal 5 (MDG5) aims to improve maternal health. Unlike other MDGs, few countries are on track to achieve even the first goal of MDG 5, namely, to reduce maternal mortality by 75%. Sub-Saharan Africa suffers from the highest regional maternal mortality rate (MMR) at 640 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births and the annual decline has only been 0.1%. In stark contrast, average MMR in developed countries is 14. The focus for discussion and action to reduce maternal mortality rates is of necessity largely restricted to the fields of medicine and public health. At the same time, however, there is a spectrum of challenging biological, social and cultural issues that constitute the context within which maternal mortality occurs. In our workshop we plan to break new ground by bringing together those with expertise in current initiatives to reduce MMR with leading researchers in genetics, immunology, obstetric epidemiology, and social and biological anthropology. The aim of the conference is to provide a forum within which people with very different expertise and experience can explore the latest research findings and see how these could influence understanding and ideas for action to reduce maternal mortality in Africa. The following two areas, taken together, will form the focus of the conference: Biological mechanisms determining birth outcomes The social and historical context for maternal mortality in Africa We see this as a unique opportunity to bring together those with experience of implementing initiatives aimed at reducing MMR with researchers from different but highly relevant academic disciplines. Our focus on this important issue will enable us to bring together the latest research in fields that all too often do not ‘talk’ to each other. An additional question to be posed in the course of this conversation concerns the very nature of interdisciplinary enquiry. Do we have a language with which to talk meaningfully of the interactions between biology and history? To what extent can basic scientific research inform policy-making? Read More

Médecine expérimentale

La chaire de Médecine Expérimentale et le laboratoire Inserm qui lui est associé (Inserm U833, Angiogenèse embryonnaire et pathologique) travaillent sur l'angiogenèse, la formation de nouveaux vaisseaux à partir de vaisseaux préexistants. Les principaux thèmes de recherche et d'enseignement sont : 1/ les facteurs responsables de la croissance et de la différenciation des artères, des veines et des lymphatiques ; 2/ les molécules impliquées dans le guidage des vaisseaux et des nerfs ; 3/ L'induction de protéines de la matrice extra-cellulaire par l'hypoxie ; 4/ les maladies liées à une angiogenèse anormale, telle la télangectiasie hémorragique héréditaire ; 5/ les nouveaux produits anti-angiogéniques dans le cancer. Le rôle du système rénine angiotensine au cours du développement embryonnaire est un autre axe de recherche et d'enseignement. The chair of Experimental Medicine and its affiliated Inserm laboratory (Inserm U833, Embryonic and pathologic angiogenesis) work on angiogenesis, the growth of new vessels from preexisting ones. The main themes of research and teaching are : 1/ factors responsible for the differentiation of arteries, veins and lymphatics ; 2/ molecules involved in vessel and neurone guidance ; 3/ induction by hypoxia of extra-cellular matrix proteins ; 4/ diseases related to abnormal angiogenesis such as hereditary hemorragic telangectasia ; 5/ new anti-angiogenic agents in cancer. The role of the renin angiotensin system during embryonic development is another area of research and teaching.

Epigénétique et mémoire cellulaire

Née le 5 mars 1965 à Londres (Angleterre). Edith Heard est généticienne de formation. Elle a suivi des études en sciences naturelles à l'Université de Cambridge au Royaume-Uni et a préparé son doctorat au « Imperial Cancer Research Fund » à Londres. Edith Heard est arrivée en France, à l'Institut Pasteur en 1990. Elle dirige aujourd'hui à l'Institut Curie, l'Unité de Génétique et biologie du développement et l'équipe « Épigenèse et développement des mammifères ». Elle a reçu de nombreuses distinctions pour ses travaux de recherche, comme la Médaille d'argent du CNRS, en 2008, le prix Jean Hamburger de la ville de Paris, en 2009, l'ERC Advanced Investigator Award du Conseil européen de la recherche en 2010 et le Grand Prix de la FRM en 2011. Elle est en outre membre élu de la prestigieuse Organisation européenne de biologie moléculaire (EMBO) depuis 2005. En 2012, elle a été nommée Professeure au Collège de France. Edith Heard se consacre depuis plusieurs années à l'étude des processus épigénétiques, tel que l'inactivation du chromosome X chez les mammifères, un modèle classique dans ce domaine. Ses travaux ont contribué à la compréhension des premiers événements qui accompagnent l'inactivation du chromosome X au cours de l'embryogenèse. Son équipe a mis en évidence une dynamique remarquable des changements épigénétiques au cours du développement précoce et a élucidé une partie des mécanismes responsables du processus d'inactivation du X. Elle a aussi démontré la diversité de stratégies mises en œuvre dans ce processus entre des mammifères mêmes très proches au cours de l'évolution. L'ensemble de ces travaux sont largement reconnus dans le domaine, car des mécanismes similaires semblent être impliqués dans d'autres processus épigénétiques. Read More

Pharmacist Dialogues – Video

This series of discussions will focus on the role of the pharmacist in direct and indirect patient care. From bench side research of discovering new ways old drugs work to bedside and community practice where pharmacists ensure that the right patient gets the right drug at the right time. The goal of these dialogues is to provide the public with information for safe and effective use of medications and other health care products, encourage communication between patients, pharmacists and other health care providers and to provide a medium for drug information and education.

‘Light, Clocks and Sleep’

Light, Clocks and Sleep: The Discovery of a New Photoreceptor within the Eye Until the late 1990’s it seemed inconceivable to most vision biologists that there could be an unrecognised class of light sensor within the eye. After all, the eye was the best understood part of the central nervous system. One hundred and fifty years of research had explained how we see: Light is detected by the rods and cones of the retina and their responses are assembled into an “image” by inner retinal neurones, followed by advanced visual processing in the brain. This representation of the eye left no room for an additional class of ocular photoreceptor. However, work in a variety of animals, including mice and humans, overturned this conventional view of the eye. We now know that the rods and cones are not alone.
