Doctors are not the only ones who can advance medicine!
This is why the What Health? club was created, to highlight research related to the field of health. Through this club, interested students will be able to discover research carried out in this field and even take part in it within a research laboratory!
The team
- Agathe Lemée – PhD student, IJL/NGERE
- Magali Tirado – PhD student, IMOPA and DYNAMIC
- Astrid Pinzano – CNRS Research Director – IMOPA
- Halima Alem-Marchand – Professor – IJL

This club is structured around 4 distinct areas, all linked to health and offering specific activities, including the following examples:
- Cells in Health – Example target audience: biology students
- Develop in vitro cellular and tissue models for a better understanding of human tissues and their pathologies;
- Discover microbial metabolic pathways for the production of therapeutic molecules;
- Learn how to produce and purify proteins.
- Organ Models – Example target audience: students in materials / microtechnologies
- Discover microfluidics;
- Use a syringe pump to perfuse micro-channels;
- Understand the contribution of organs-on-chips.
- Electronics in Health – Example target audience: electronics students
- Learn how to use microelectrodes;
- Use an impedance meter to differentiate a biological from a non-biological object.
- Science Communication – Example target audience: Everyone!
- Popularize topics related to medicine and health;
- Propose interactive content.
In practice
To strengthen group cohesion, members meet each month to share a convivial moment. Outside of these meetings, a Discord group enables ongoing exchanges!
Regarding scientific activities, the club adapts to the student’s interests, who can attend either at IJL or at IMoPA.
