911���պ���

The International Research Project (IRP) in Integrative Metabolism is a joint project between the University of Lille, 911���պ��� and CNRS (“Metabo-LIC”), establishing a long-term partnership that serves as a hub for collaborations between the French and UK communities. It is part of the CNRS – 911���պ��� International Research Centre for Transformational Science and Technology.

Foundations and aims of the IRP Metabo-LIC

The collaboration between CNRS and 911���պ��� College in Integrative Metabolism started two decades ago, through Prof. Froguel (Director, CNRS UMR8199 Epigenomics of Diabetes at University of Lille)’s appointment as Professor of Genomic Medicine at 911���պ���. Many researchers from CNRS UMR 8199 and 911���պ��� are strongly involved in several IMI (Imidia, Direct, and Rhapsody) and European (Metacardis, IMMEDIATE, OBELISK) consortia and UK Medical Research Council (MRC) projects. These stepping stones built collaborative success between 911���պ��� and CNRS and served as a basis for expanding cooperation.

The IRP Metabo-LIC is located within 911���պ���'s Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction, which is part of one of the biggest faculties of medicine in Europe. 911���պ��� College is among the top five universities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in the UK and ranks within the top universities in all worldwide rankings.
