To celebrate the end of the year, the LAI team came together for a festive Christmas lunch. We enjoyed a relaxed and cheerful moment together, sharing homemade food, playing games, and exchanging Secret Santa gifts.
It was a lovely opportunity to strengthen team spirit, welcome new members, reconnect with alumni, and end the year on a positive note while looking ahead to the coming year.
We have the pleasure to share that our lab took part for the second time in “Fête de la Science” on October 12th, 2025. This fantastic festival, celebrated across France, is dedicated to bringing science closer to the public, sparking curiosity, and inspiring everyone in the event.
LAI hosted a range of interactive stands covering diverse scientific disciplines, from biology to physics (card game on immunity / Microscopy / Microfluidic and fluid dynamics) . It was a day full of learning, experimentation, and inspiration, where participants of all ages had the chance to dive into the fascinating world of science. We were thrilled to see so many curious minds visit our stands and actively engage with the experiments we prepared!
Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating the wonders of science !
We’re proud to share that our lab team, “Les Athlètes Improbables,” has marked their third consecutive participation in La Marseillaise des Femmes! With the support of INSERM, our runners took on this empowering race in solidarity with women’s rights and breast cancer research.
After months of training, the team once again displayed exceptional determination, teamwork, and spirit. The tradition continues, along with our weekly runs through the beautiful trails of the Calanques.
