Join us for a pivotal series of scientific seminars aimed at tackling the challenges facing aquaculture, a major source of sustainable proteins for millions of people worldwide. Infectious diseases pose monumental threats to the sustainability of aquaculture, with our restricted comprehension of the fish immune system hindering the development of new and effective therapies and vaccines.
Julien Resseguier will present his recently awarded Young Research Talent FRIPRO project aiming at deciphering the function of recently discovered lymphoid organ in fish, a potential game-changer for disease management in aquaculture. Following Julien, renown fish immunology experts, Pierre Boudinot and Øystein Evensen, will delve into new concepts illustrating the complexity of the fish immune system and vaccine development for fish farming. Pierre Boudinot’s seminar will include the participation of Bernard Verrier, whose group possess extensive experience in developing therapeutic biodegradable nanoparticles for humans and animals. Pierre Boudinot, Bernard Verrier, and Øystein Evensen are esteemed members of the NucNanoFish ERANET European consortium, a team dedicated to the development of cutting-edge nucleic-acid based nanovaccines for fish.
Light refreshments will be served starting from 9:15.
