We are pleased to share that several LAI members joined the annual CENTURI PhD & Postdocs Retreat, which took place from 28 to 30 April 2026 at the Moulin de Vernègues. The three-day gathering brought together PhD students and postdocs from across the CENTURI community for a mix of scientific and creative sessions, among them a graphical-abstract session and the “Terraforming” workshops on the future of interdisciplinary research, alongside outdoor activities and many chances to build connections across labs. LAI was represented by Marie Dessard, Jad Sleiman, Ahmad Awada, Jana El Husseiny, and Coralie Gastinel. Many thanks to the CENTURI team and the Organising Committee for putting together such a memorable retreat.

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 !
