LipAgg

Doctoral Network
on Amyloid Protein

Kick-off meeting

Zoom

The LipAgg Project Kicks Off Successfully ! The LipAgg project has officially started. We held our online kick-off meeting on March 26–27. This first working session aligned the team on key objectives, timelines, and future perspectives, while fostering strong collaboration and engagement. These promising first meetings bode well for the next steps of our journey.   Doctoral Network […]

Guiding principles and recommendations

MSCA participants are expected to explain the actions they are taking to address the sustainability of their research projects in their proposals and at final reporting stage.

Sustainability can play a role as an additional criterion in the evaluation of ex-aequo proposals.

To help participants better understand how they can integrate sustainability concerns into projects in practice, the charter and its supporting material offer practical recommendations covering topics such as :

  • travel, events and meetings
  • resource-intensive research settings
  • hardware, software and data usage
  • facilities, infrastructure and procurement.

While the relevance of the charter’s principles and recommendations may vary depending on the MSCA participants and projects, the guidance documents are there to help everyone find the resources they need depending on their own situation.

Biography : Lucie Khemtemourian

I am a researcher at the Institute of Chemistry and Biology of Membranes and Nano-Objects (CBMN, CNRS, France).

I joined CNRS in 2009 after receiving my PhD in Physical Chemistry from the University of Bordeaux (France) and completing postdoctoral training at Université Paris Cité (France, UMR 8601) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Isabelle Artaud and at Utrecht University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. J. Antoinette Killian (the Netherlands).

My current research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of amyloid-forming proteins and on the interactions between amyloid proteins and membranes, ranging from artificial membranes to cellular membranes. I am particularly interested in islet amyloid polypeptide, which is associated with type 2 diabetes.

I am the coordinator of the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network LipAgg project.
