3rd SPHERES Consortium Meeting in Nice
From November 25th to 27th, a total of 43 members of the SPHERES team got together in Nice, at the Saint Paul hotel, to present the progress made by the different participants involved in the project during the four years that the SPHERES grant has been running. They reflected together about the next steps and missions to be made, in order to achieve the objectives defined in the project.
SPHERES is a Synergy project funded by the European Research Commission. The goal of SPHERES is to understand the dynamics and consequences of the enlargement of adipocytes through investigation of its lipid droplet (LD). Adipocyte hypertrophy due to an increase in LD size may, irrespective of body fat mass, cause a wide range of pathological conditions, notably cardiometabolic diseases. SPHERES Pis are Dominique Langin (Université de Toulouse III Paul Sabatier), Mikael Rydén (Karolinska Insitutet) and Brunno Antonny (CNRS, IPBM). The INSERM and the Côte d'Azur University participate in the projet as third parties.
The program will be published soon on this page.
