For the first time, we hosted a CNRS Unusual Visits event: 290 applications → 24 visitors→ A tremendous enthusiasm!! Highlights included immune system talks & hands-on workshops on skin, cholesterol, IgE, and DNA extraction.
🔬 A look back at the 2025 Science Festival in CIML!
On Thursday 9 October, we had the pleasure of opening the doors of our laboratories to middle and high school students as part of the 2025 Science Festival. A day rich in discoveries and exchanges! #FêteDeLaScience #FDS2025
A new study led by Sandrine Henri is out now in OncoImmunology. Authors characterized the prostate's immune landscape in healthy inidviduals and during cancer progression. Congratulations to 1st author Despoina Pervizou and all collaborators.
A new study led by Elena Tomasello & Marc Dalod is out now in @natimmunol.nature.com. Through the generation of a novel system lacking plasmacytoid DCs, authors show that pDCs are dispensable or deleterious in respiratory viral infections. Congrats to 1st author Clemence Ngo and all collaborators!
Today we had the great honor to welcome Dr Florent Ginhoux from Gustave Roussy Institute in our CIML seminar series.
Florent gave an outstanding seminar entitled "Harnessing Tumor Macrophage Heterogeneity" and had great exchange with CIML scientists.
Today we had the great honor to welcome Dr Megan MacLeod from the University of Glasgow School of Infection and Immunity.
Megan gave a great talk on"Different faces of immune memory in the lung following influenza virus infection" and had great exchange with CIML scientists. Thanks for visiting us!
Today we had the great honor to welcome Dr Michela Locci from the University of Pennsylvania in our CIML seminar series.
Michela gave an outstanding seminar entitled "Defense decoded: how mRNA vaccines train germinal center responses" and had great exchange with CIML scientists.
It was a pleasure to have Ang Cui presenting her work at CIML.
Today we had the great honor to welcome Dr Ed Roberts from the Cancer Research UK-Scotland Institute @cruk-si.bsky.social.
Ed gave a great talk on"Time dependent impact of viral infection on lung tumour development" and had great exchange with CIML scientists. Thanks Ed for visiting us!
🔬 The CIML is proud to be an academic partner of the 11th edition of #MiFoBio2025, the Functional Microscopy in Biology school organized by @gdrimabio.bsky.social taking place from October 10–17, 2025.
The CIML Imaging Platform and researchers will be sharing our expertise in immune system imaging.
The immune landscape of healthy prostate and its alterations during prostate cancer (PCa) progression remain poorly characterized. Using scRNA-sequencing and multiparametric flow-cytometry analysis...

Previous research has suggested that pDCs are required for an effective antiviral immune response, but direct experimental evidence to support this is lacking. Here Ngo et al. develop a pDC knockin mouse model and find that pDCs are dispensable for an antiviral immune response to mouse cytomegalovirus and may be detrimental during influenza or SARS-CoV-2 infection.
