PIWI proteins and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are essential for silencing mobile genetic elements like transposons in the animal germline and are essential for fertility in animals and humans. This meeting aims to bring the community to discuss the recent advances in the field and will cover a broad range of techniques and animal models. Speakers at this meeting will illustrate the unprecedented molecular insights into piRNA biogenesis machinery provided by structural biology investigations and...
The 4th edition of the Postdoc and Students Meiosis Workshop will take place the 7th and 8th of December 2023 in Montpellier.
For this edition, we will have four invited speakers: Valérie Borde, Anjali Hinch, Jean-René Huynh, Jesus Page and selected talks based on abstract submission, with a priority for students and Postdocs.
This one-week workshop aims to introduce the various aspects of epigenetic research via a highly interactive approach that will engage the students in lively discussions with a set of invited speakers chosen among the world leaders in the field. Students will go deep in the research topics of the speakers by combining mentored analysis of their published work with first hand private discussions with the speakers after an open seminar. While one day will be devoted to presentation of careers in academia,...
The “Imaging life: the future” international 2.5-day symposium which will be held in Montpellier, France October 17-19 to celebrate 20 years of imaging and cytometry at MRI aims to foster intense and friendly scientific discussions to try and foresee how future developments in light/electron microscopy and image analysis could further transform research in animal and plant biology across scales, from molecules to tissues. We are expecting to host 200 scientists from all over Europe.
Speaker: Chambeyron Severine

"InteRNAt" summer school on small regulatory RNAs (microRNA, siRNA, piRNA)
Small regulatory RNAs (miRNAs, siRNAs, and piRNAs) have attracted a lot of attention over the past two decades. The use of siRNAs for experimental gene repression by RNA interference, the apparent low specificity of miRNAs (each appears to repress hundreds of target genes, implying that miRNAs collectively participate in the control of all physiological processes in Animals), and the numerous regulatory roles proposed for piRNAs, probably explain the great interest in them by the scientific community.
Inevitably,...
The CRCT postdocs association was created in 2022 by Benoît Aliaga, Chloé Bessière and Steffen Fuchs. It gathers the 31 postdocs who are currently present in our research center. We decided to organize the 1st Young Scientist Cancer Congress of the Cancéropôle Grand Sud Ouest (GSO) on the 5th October 2023 at the Oncopole, Toulouse.
Aim: The main goals of this day are to promote the work of the GSO postdocs and young clinician scientists, to network, and to optimize their career paths.

The International symposium on Human Genomics will be the opportunity to promote research in genetics and genomics in France and to bring the community together. It will be opened to the national and international genetics and genomics community. Early-career researchers are encouraged to attend and submit either an oral or a poster presentation.
