After focusing on the impact of human activities on marine biodiversity, David Mouillot is now examining the potential role of coastal marine resources in reducing human poverty. A professor at the University of Montpellier and a researcher at the Marbec laboratory, he has just been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant to conduct transdisciplinary research on this new topic.

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 expand into other fields. EpiGenMed fosters collaborations between basic research, medical research, and education in Montpellier.  It is part of the University of Montpellier’s I-SITE program of excellence and is affiliated with the Biology-Health cluster, particularly the Genetics-Epigenetics research track. The scientific scope of LabUM EpiGenMed covers epigenetics, epigenomics, and gene expression, with the aim of studying the mechanisms of cellular development, immune defense, and metabolism, as well as their links to diseases. Research in these fields is evolving rapidly, and a key focus is therefore the development of new technologies and facilitating their transfer to industrial partners in the healthcare sector. Initiatives PhD Training Networks LabUM EpiGenMed’s collaborative doctoral program funds networks comprising three Montpellier-based research teams for the joint training of three PhD students. Four networks have been established since 2021. Collaborative Projects LabUM EpiGenMed aims to promote collaborative projects among Montpellier-based research teams on topics related to genetics and epigenetics. The call for proposals focuses on projects addressing the complexity of biological mechanisms in physiological or pathological contexts. Six projects funded with €300,000 for a duration of 24 months. Proof-of-Concept Projects “Proof-of-Concept Projects” funding supports emerging concepts or new technological approaches that are still in a preliminary stage and require further development. The projects are carried out collaboratively by two research teams. Six projects funded with €50,000 for a duration of 24 months. Events LabUM organizes and subsidizes international events in Montpellier. Prestigious Seminar Series: 3–4 seminars per year featuring renowned international speakers. Call for Proposals for Financial Support for International Conferences: 12 events organized in 2023 or 2024 received funding ranging from €3,000 to €10,000. Workshop in Epigenetics: Annual workshop for master’s students (M2) + seminars.
