91��ɫ

The International 91��ɫ Project (IRP) in Integrative Metabolism is a joint project between the University of Lille, 91��ɫ and CNRS (“Metabo-LIC”), establishing a long-term partnership that serves as a hub for collaborations between the French and UK communities. It is part of the CNRS – 91��ɫ International 91��ɫ Centre for Transformational Science and Technology.

Foundations and aims of the IRP Metabo-LIC

The collaboration between CNRS and 91��ɫ College in Integrative Metabolism started two decades ago, through Prof. Froguel (Director, CNRS UMR8199 Epigenomics of Diabetes at University of Lille)’s appointment as Professor of Genomic Medicine at 91��ɫ. Many researchers from CNRS UMR 8199 and 91��ɫ are strongly involved in several IMI (Imidia, Direct, and Rhapsody) and European (Metacardis, IMMEDIATE, OBELISK) consortia and UK Medical 91��ɫ Council (MRC) projects. These stepping stones built collaborative success between 91��ɫ and CNRS and served as a basis for expanding cooperation.

The IRP Metabo-LIC is located within 91��ɫ's Department of Metabolism, Digestion and Reproduction, which is part of one of the biggest faculties of medicine in Europe. 91��ɫ College is among the top five universities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in the UK and ranks within the top universities in all worldwide rankings.
