After studying the impact of human activities on marine biodiversity, David Mouillot is now looking at the possible impact of coastal marine resources in reducing human poverty. The professor at the University of Montpellier and researcher in the Marbec laboratory has just been awarded an ERC Advanced grant to conduct transdisciplinary research on this new subject.

The LabUM EpiGenMed research program builds on the international recognition of Montpellier's research in epigenetics, (epi)genomics and gene expression, which it aims to consolidate and extend to other fields. EpiGenMed structures collaborations between basic research, medical research and training in Montpellier. It is part of the University of Montpellier's I-SITE excellence program, and is associated with the Biology-Health cluster, in particular the Genetics-Epigenetics axis. The scientific field of LabUM EpiGenMed concerns epigenetics, epigenomics and gene expression, with the aim of studying the determination of cell development, immune defense and metabolism, as well as their links with pathologies. Research in these fields is evolving rapidly, and an important aspect is therefore the development of new technologies and support for their transfer to industrial players in the healthcare sector. Actions PhD Training Networks The LabUM EpiGenMed collaborative doctoral program funds networks made up of three Montpellier research teams for the joint training of three PhD students. Four networks have been set up since 2021. Collaborative projects The LabUM EpiGenMed aims to promote collaborative projects between Montpellier research teams on topics related to genetics and epigenetics. The call for projects concerns projects that address the complexity of biological mechanisms, in physiological or pathological contexts. Six projects funded to the tune of €300,000 for a 24-month period. Proof-of-concept projects The 'Proof-of-concept Projects' funding concerns emerging concepts, or new technological approaches, which are still at a preliminary stage and need to be consolidated. Projects are carried out in collaboration by two research teams. Six projects are funded to the tune of €50,000 over a 24-month period. Events LabUM organizes and supports international events in Montpellier. Prestigious seminar series: 3-4 seminars with recognized international speakers per year. AAP financial support for international conferences: 12 events organized in 2023 or 2024 have received support ranging from €3,000 to €10,000. Workshop in Epigenetics: Annual workshop for M2 students + seminars.

Doctoral schools attached to the Biology-Health Cluster CBS2 - Chemical and Biological Sciences for Health The CBS2 doctoral school trains doctors in all areas of Biology-Health, from drug chemistry to clinical studies, from genes to behavior. Backed by the laboratories of the Pôle Biologie Santé and the Collège Doctoral de l'Université de Montpellier, it offers training through and for research, and prepares future PhDs for careers in both academia and the private sector. ED CBS2 SMH - Sciences du Mouvement Humain (Human Movement Sciences) website Doctoral School 463 "Human Movement Sciences" brings together the research potential of the major university clusters in the south-east of France (Aix-Marseille, Montpellier and Nice) in the field of human movement and its nervous, physiological, mechanical, behavioral, cognitive and societal determinants.
