IMCBIo Summer Cool 😎

The second edition of the IMCBio Summer School took place from June 25 to 28, 2024 at the Université de Strasbourg.

Organized by (marvellous) PhD students from IMCBio and with the support from colleagues from our five member institutes and the life science faculty, bachelor students from five different Universities had the opportunity to learn about our Master program.

The 3,5 day event included visiting IMCBio’s member institutes to perform small experiments, learn about scientific instruments and platforms like the microscopy photonic, the electronic microscopy, the flow cytometry, the plant microscopy, the mass spectrometry, the crystallography… 🔬

The invited students also greatly appreciated the opportunity to take part in round-table discussions with researchers at different levels and to hear about current research topics in Strasbourg.

In addition to experiencing IMCBio’s research, the students had the chance to tour the beautiful city of Strasbourg (and enjoy “tarts flambées”🥨​🍻​).

After this success, everyone is more than motivated to repeat the experience in 2025. Follow us here and on social networks to keep up to date.😉​

Welcome to IMCBio – new PhD students 2023-2024 – Part V

A portrait of our newly minted IMCBio PhD researchers

This week we have the last portrait: Eléonore, from France.

Eléonore Moittié – PhD Student Magali Frugier & Michael Ryckelynck’s team, IBMC

Eléonore Moittié comes from Paris area. After a double bachelor degree in Biology and Mathematics at Sorbonne Université, she moved to Strasbourg, where she pursued her studies with a master degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics. In parallel to that, she joined the IMCBio graduate school, so that she could attend to extra conferences and do more lab internships. This is how she discovered the lab where she is currently doing her PhD.

She started her PhD in August in the team Digital Biology of RNA, at the IBMC, under the supervision of Magali Frugier and Michael Ryckelynck. She is working on a synthetic biology project, in which she is aiming to develop enzymes inhibitory aptamers, with therapeutic prospects.

“This interdisciplinary PhD project and the rich research environment of the IMCBio labs will allow me to pursue my goal to do research on the origins of life” she explains.
