We are honoured to welcome Assoc. Prof. Florence McCarthy from University College Cork Ireland to the IICiMed Lab for one month, and to announce that he has been awarded the 2025 France Excellence Research Residency grant.

Brazilian collaborators from Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife - Prof. Teresinha Silva, and from Universidade Federal de Alagoas, Maceio - Prof. Thiago Aquino, are also visiting us as part of the CAPES-COFECUB programme.
This is an excellent opportunity to meet their compatriots, Prof. Daniel Assis Santos and Prof. Rafael Bastos, from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais and the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte respectively, who are here as part of another CAPES-COFECUB collaboration managed by Prof. Florent Morio.
Many thanks to Assoc. Prof. Isabelle Ourliac-Garnier for organising such an inspiring meeting with the three networks (PIs, PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, biologists and chemists). Bringing different networks together adds value to scientific exchanges, builds new collaborations and allows us to move forward.
COLLABORATION IS KEY!
