European COST action, EU-RESOLVE: Kick off meeting in Brussels, October the 15th 2025

Two members of the GREMI, Véronique Witko and Valérie Urbach, have been nominated as the French representatives in the management committee of the European COST action,  EU-RESOLVE.

EU-RESOLVE aims to create a multidisciplinary, pan-European network of excellence in Resolution Biology. This network will bring together academics, clinicians, biotechnology companies, and other stakeholders. EU-RESOLVE will advance the understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the resolution of inflammation and accelerate the translation of these findings into more effective treatments for patients with inflammatory diseases.

EU-RESOLVE could be of major interest for all of the scientists interested in the mechanisms underlying inflammation, as it largely covers chronic diseases, various organ/cellular models and experimental approaches and holds a great potential in helping to develop novel European collaborations.

As team/group leaders, senior or junior scientists, please feel free to join an EU-RESOLVE working group or contact valérie.urbach@inserm.fr
 or veronique.witko@inserm.fr for further information.

In addition to Véronique and Valérie, three other members of the GREMI are involved in EU-RESOLVE (Sylvain Perruche, Marc Dubourdeau and Xavier Norel).

 






The One-Day GREMI meeting - Mars 14th, 2025: "Epithelial Cells: Conductors of the Inflammatory Orchestra" at Institut Pasteur, was a success with 130 participants.
