This session, co-organized by the Académie des sciences and the Académie nationale de pharmacie, will address certain aspects of therapeutic innovation: the discovery of new molecules from the sea, cell therapy using CAR-T cells, gene therapy and new imaging methods using ultra-fast measurement of ultrasound waves.
The prospects involve the discovery of innovative and more effective therapeutics for the treatment of serious diseases, as well as improved diagnostics.
Organized by Patrick Couvreur, member of the Académie des sciences, chairman of its Committee for Evaluation and Open Science (CoESO), member of the Académie des technologies, the Académie nationale de pharmacie and the Académie nationale de médecine, professor emeritus at Paris-Saclay University.
With the participation of:
Laurent Meijer, former CNRS research director at the Roscoff Biological Station (CNRS/Sorbonne University), founder, president and scientific director of start-up Perha Pharmaceuticals ("From Sea to Pharmacy").
→ Discovery of new molecules with therapeutic activity from the sea.
Jérôme Larghero, member of the Académie nationale de pharmacie and the Académie nationale de médecine, director of the Department of Cell and Tissue Biotherapies and the MEARY Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, Hôpital Saint-Louis (AP-HP), professor at Université Paris-Cité.
→ Design of CAR-T cells for the treatment of certain cancers.
Alain Fischer, member of the Académie des sciences, member of the Académie nationale de médecine, professor emeritus at the Collège de France, former director and co-founder of the Institut des maladies génétiques Imagine at Hôpital Necker-Enfants malades (AP-HP).
→ The successes and limitations of gene therapy.
Mickael Tanter, member of the French Academy of Sciences, member of the European Academy of Sciences, director of research at Inserm, professor at the École supérieure de physique et chimie industrielles (ESPCI Paris-PSL).
→ New imaging methods using ultrafast measurement of ultrasound waves.
