In line with the POHaD paradigm (Paternal Origins of Health and Disease)\, increasing evidence shows that environmentally induced paternal epigenetic alterations can have effects beyond fertilization\, which is the case of paternal obesity. Within this context\, our lab is interested in a type of epigenetic marks named histone acylations\, whose abundance depends upon the availability of their precursor metabolites and\, hence\, are sensitive to the cell metabolic status. Among the different histone acylations\, we have recently characterized that lactylation modifies several histone lysine residues in wild-type mouse testis by proteomics approaches (Manessier et al.\, 2026; PMID 42285509). \nTo better understand the effects of a metabolic stress on coordinated metabolo-epigenetic signatures in male germ cells\, we established a mouse model of Western style diet-induced obesity (WD; high-fat/high-sugar\, 16 weeks). WD males exhibit an altered testicular metabolome\, characterized by changes in pathways related to energy metabolism and the generation of precursors of epigenetic marks. In parallel\, we identified altered histone acylation levels in male germ cells of WD mice\, suggesting a link between the observed metabolomic and epigenetic alterations. Multi-omics approaches in WD mice are currently being analyzed to determine the sensitivity to metabolic changes in male germ cells. \nThus\, our work supports that the testis can sense metabolic disturbances\, leading to dysregulations in developing male germ cells at the metabolic and epigenetic levels. These alterations could contribute to the effects of male obesity beyond fertilization described in the POHaD framework.

Il y dirige le département Propriété Intellectuelle pendant une vingtaine d’année. Après une parenthèse professionnelle de trois ans hors de la PI il rejoint l’université Paris Cité dans le cadre de la mise en place du PUI Valocité (Pôle Universitaire d’Innovation) pour occuper un poste d’ingénieur PI en charge des aspects PI du Pôle. \nLe séminaire détaillera les différents actifs PI qui peuvent être mis en œuvre dans une stratégie PI ainsi que les potentiels et voies de valorisation de chacun d’eux. Après une revue succincte des fondamentaux de la PI\, les dispositifs mis en œuvre par l’université seront présentés ainsi que les informations pratiques et les bons réflexes à acquérir en matière de protection de la PI pour ne pas compromettre une valorisation potentielle. On discutera également des différentes problématiques PI que vous pourriez rencontrer dans une carrière de doctorant ou de chercheur ainsi que les différentes manières d’y faire face. Enfin\, un focus sur la brevetabilité des dispositifs médicaux et des médicaments ainsi que sur la brevetabilité du vivant et notamment les différences USA/Europe devrait conclure ce temps d’échange avec bien évidemment un moment dédié aux questions pour finir.

Guided by innate preferences and aversions\, the brain filters complex environments for cues and signals to successfully navigate these reproductive behaviors in appropriate spatial\, temporal\, and social contexts. To understand how the natural environment shapes sensory evolution and contributes to the diversification of neural circuits controlling mating behaviors\, my lab studies the highly tractable nervous system of Drosophila as an inroad. \nIn Drosophila\, courtship and mating occurs on fermenting food where many individuals congregate. Replicating this naturalistic context in the lab\, we discovered striking differences in the sensory dependence of mating behaviors across species. Most notably\, the host specialist Drosophila erecta requires the presence of food to engage in courtship and only mates in social groups. Harnessing the power of cross-species neurogenetics\, we reveal that sexual arousal in D. erecta is uniquely gated by food odors that switch the valence of visual stimuli driving courtship. This provides a possible neural mechanism underlying the environmental modulation of reproductive behaviors\, highlighting how social behaviors are shaped by the natural environments in which they evolve.

Precision control of the epigenome and gene activity is further unlocking key mechanistic insights into a wide variety of molecular and cellular processes. The potential of epigenome editing technologies for both research and therapeutic applications has thus led to widespread excitement over the last five years\, in areas ranging from neurobiology\, to high-throughput (epi)genomics to agriculture. As the technologies continue to emerge and the epigenome editing field begins to coalesce\, we feel now is the time to bring interdisciplinary experts and leaders in the field together. This will enable\, for the first time\, epigenome editors and related disciplines to collectively discuss the technology\, its applications and ethics\, and the exciting scientific insights being generated. Such a symposium will help to accelerate progress in this field by facilitating collaborations between researchers and providing a platform for the dissemination of new discoveries and techniques. It will also help to raise broader awareness of this exciting emerging science and its potential to transform precision medicine. \n\n\n\n\nTime and Place\n\nThe meeting will take place from November 16-17  at Institut Jacques Monod in the heart of Paris\, France \nWe will have two half day sessions\, and a poster session over cocktails and light bites \n\n\n\nKey Dates\n\n\nAbstract Submission: October 1\, 2026 \nRegistration: November 9\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nInvited Speakers\n\n🧬 Gabriella Ficz (QMUL\, UK) \n🧬 Charles Gersbach (Duke University\, USA) \n🧬 Jamie Hackett (EMBL Rome\, Italy) \n🧬 Jake Harris (Cambridge University\, UK) \n🧬 Angelo Lombardo (San Raffaele University\, Italy) \n🧬 Reini Luco (Institut Curie\, France) \n🧬 Mariane Rots (UMCG\, Netherlands) \n🧬 Edda Schulz (MPI Berlin\, Germany) \n🧬 Stefan Stricker (Helmholtz Munich\, Germany) \nMore speakers will be selected from abstracts! \nYou can find all the informations regarding the symposium\, the registration and abstract submission here  \nFlyer of the event: here URL:https://www.ijm.fr/event/ctrlepiedit-engineering-the-epigenome/ LOCATION:Institut Jacques Monod Amphithéâtre Buffon\, 15 rue Hélène Brion\, Paris\, 75013\, France ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ijm.fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/web-image-bandeau-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261118 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261119 DTSTAMP:20261013T113003Z CREATED:20261013T113003Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261013T113003Z UID:34495-1794960000-1795046399@www.ijm.fr SUMMARY:7th Symposium on Fungal Genetics Ile de France 2026 DESCRIPTION:We are very pleased to announce that registration to the 7th Fungal Genetics Ile-de-France Symposium and abstract submission are open. \n  \nThe symposium will be organized the 18 of November at the Institut Jacques Monod\, amphitheater Buffon\, bat.
