”Today, I had the honor of receiving the Prizes for Innovators 2025.
This award celebrates the collective achievements of an outstanding TEAM at the HITh lab Inserm, with whom I have the privilege to work.
Innovation grows from shared vision, dedication, and collaboration, and I couldn’t wish for a better group.
I warmly thank the Scientific Committee and the Région Ile de France for this recognition, and Nelly GARNIER and Amanda Silva Brun for their kind introduction.
I am deeply grateful to all the TEAM members, colleagues, and mentors who have contributed to this journey – especially Cécile DENIS Peter Lenting Olivier Christophe and Ivan Peyron.
