IMCBIO

🎓 Back to school, back to projects!

We already started with the opening of our Master track iBioS headed by Michael Ryckelynck and in partnership with the Life Sciences Faculty of Strasbourg! 🚀
And here’s what’s coming up soon:
📅 IMCBio Symposium 17-21 November 2025
📅 International IMCBio PhD Call 2026 opening November 24th 2025
📅 International master track iBioS application for September 2026 (EEF: October 2025, Mon Master: February 2026)
📅Summer School 23-26 June 2026 (application in March 2026)

This year is all about learning, growing, and connecting. Remember: every step you take, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goals. 💡

👉 Stay tuned for more details about every event in the coming months!

☀️ It is time for summer break 🪸
As the summer sun shines brighter, it’s time for a well-deserved pause. Our Graduate School is taking a short break to return with fresh energy for the exciting challenges ahead!
⚗️ The next academic year will be special for us, we’re enthousiast to welcome the very first cohort of the iBioS master track!
🔬 We’re also delighted to welcome our new PhD candidates who are joining our Graduate School!

✨ Thinking about joining us? Stay tuned on our social media and website!
For iBioS the “Etude en France” campaign start in October, “Mon master” in February.
And if you want to make a PhD in a stimulating research environment, our international PhD call will open in November.

Wishing everyone a restful and inspiring summer. ⛱️

Hello everyone!

Long time no see! Indeed we were very busy on our side. And one of our main concerns was our 2025 edition of the IMCBio Summer School.
This year again, 19 bachelor students joined us to discover Integrative Biology in Strasbourg.

Our participants, accompanied by the PhD candidates of our super organization committee, discovered the labs of IMCBio+and did science related activities!
From electronic microscopy to mouse facility, through photonic microscopy, structural biology or flow cytometry, they took part in a lot of workshops.
They also discovered Strasbourg, visited our famous Cathedral, tasted French and Alsatian gastronomy or even took a boat all around the city and had the opportunity to discuss with a lot of scientists!
And last but not least, they discovered in details the program of our master track: “iBioS” with our head master Prof. Michaël Ryckelynck.

Thank you to all our particpants and our fantastic PhD candidates!

Motivated to join the adventure?
If you are in second year of Bachelor next year, save the date:
Next IMCBio Summer School will be from June 23 to 26, 2026!

Follow us on LinkedIn and watch the website to be sure to not miss the next application phase.

A portrait of our newly minted IMCBio PhD researchers

In our fifth edition of Welcome to IMCBio we have portrait from Fanny, from France.

Fanny Lebois – Manuel Mendoza’s team, IGBMC

Originally from France, Fanny completed her Master’s degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Bordeaux in 2024. During her studies, she developed a strong passion for gene regulation, particularly at the level of RNAs. She gained hands-on experience through four internships, both in France and abroad (Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm and Gurdon Institute in Cambridge, UK). These experiences allowed her to work in multidisciplinary research environments and significantly enriched her scientific expertise.

Since September 2024, Fanny has been a PhD student at the IGBMC in Strasbourg, working in Manuel Mendoza’s team. Her research focuses on unraveling the molecular mechanisms of gene-specific buffering of mRNAs in mouse embryonic stem cells and during differentiation.

Fanny chose the IMCBio program for its emphasis on interdisciplinary research and its vibrant international community, which provides unique opportunities for collaboration and scientific growth. She is excited to contribute to the dynamic and innovative environment fostered by the IMCBio program while advancing her knowledge in molecular biology and gene regulation.

The IMCBio team wish you the best for this new year. May all your scientific and personal projects be successful. 🎇

About that, our International PhD Call is still open until January 26 (account creation deadline January 19). If you want to start a PhD in October 2025 in a stimulating scientific environment, don’t miss this opportunity! 🚀
