La place de la personne malade au sein du dispositif de soins interpelle aussi bien le patient lui-même, que le politique, le philosophe, le sociologue ou le médecin. Comment conjuguer la médecine dans sa dimension scientifique, mais aussi humaine et sociale ? Comment faire afin que la relation de soins soit une véritable rencontre ?

Cet ouvrage contribue à éclairer les enjeux du soin de nos sociétés postmodernes. Il aborde des questions aussi variées que l’importance de l’identité narrative dans la consultation, la connaissance du corps et de la maladie : discours médical, histoire de la médecine, narration profane et parole poétique, image du corps… De façon plus générale, il questionne la place des sciences humaines dans la pratique de soins.

This Strasbourg edition also implemented something new : every team would not work on one scientific concept, but every team would have their own scientist with them to work on their own thesis! This rule really shed more light on the scientific concepts behind every game and extended the variety of possibilities. Each scientist, most if not all of them from the unistra, presented their project in a short presentation in front of everyone. Study fields were very diverse : biology, quantum chemistry, informatics, linguistics, mathematics, korean cinema, etc. I had the pleasure to present my thesis work about nociception in planarians, which always produces its load of curious questions in the public, and give a quick shout out to Euridol.

If you want to have a look at other submissions to the scientific game jam (not only from Strasbourg but also from Grenoble, Nancy, Lyon, Paris and more), here’s the link : https://itch.io/jam/scientific-game-jam-printemps-2023/entries.

This first Strasbourg edition was created, moderated and managed by Héberlé Eléa (PhD, former Unistra student) and Alexandre Lefebvre (from East Games). If you are interested in this event but did not hear about it, please get in touch with the organizers from the website or myself, it will help make it happen next year too!

As a PhD student, I was selected among many participants to present my work during a flash talk session, my work was entitled “Increased mechanical sensitivity following alcohol or sucrose forced abstinence in mice”. The idea was to point out the possible role of neuroinflammation in alcohol and sucrose bingeing responsible of development of chronic pain. We thought it was important to give insight into the comorbidities associated with addictive-like behaviours since these can interact with potential therapeutic strategies.

This congress was a great opportunity to discover several topics around addiction and to exchange with other international research groups, working on various topics including pain research. It was a fantastic networking opportunity for future post-doc positions and to develop collaborations, as my team now interacts with J.L. Cadet’s team at NIDA, Baltimore.

Then, I had the crazy idea to create something even bigger by inviting other people working in this field.

Few months later and thanks to the financial support of ITI-Neurostra, HaPpY, Neurex and USIAS, I was able to complete the list of amazing speakers with Anne Murphy (Atlanta, USA), Mike Salter (Toronto, Canada), Serge Marchand (Sherbrooke, Canada) and our local representative Yannick Goumon (Strasbourg, France). In addition, an important aspect of this project was to give the opportunity to local PhD students to present their work: we thus included two dedicated sessions in our programme. Four EURIDOL PhD students were selected to present their results in front of pioneers of the domain: Anne-Sophie AUBRY (LNCA), Etienne Clauss—Creusot (INCI), Juliette Kaeffer (BSC) and Lucien Ruelle-Le Glaunec (INCI).

Prior to the meeting, we organised a dinner with the invited speakers which allowed us to chat around good Alsatian food and wine in a relaxed atmosphere. This was especially beneficial for me who had never organised an event like that or met such important scientists.

On D-Day, the meeting started with Jeffrey who presented exciting data about the involvement of telomeres in the cellular senescence in a chronic pain context in animals. After this talk, we welcomed Serge, working on humans, an important aspect that I wanted to include in the meeting. He presented data about endogenous pain modulation in healthy subjects and patients. The third speaker was Anne who highlighted the importance of considering age in addition to sex as a biological variable in our pre-clinical research. She presented data on the signalling of the mu opioid receptor within the periaqueductal grey matter after a treatment with morphine. After a long lunch, Mike awakened us with outstanding data generated from transcriptional and computanional studies done in an animal model of peripheral nerve injury. This proof of concept aimed to find molecules that inhibit the transcription of some genes highly upregulated in such a model. Finally, our local speaker Yannick showed us the importance of pharmacokinetics when studying the effect of a molecule, in his case morphine. His data pointed out the importance of considering peripheral and central metabolism of this molecule in its sex-specific anti-nociceptive effects after peripheral administration.

In conclusion, organising this event required many long meetings and I had to surround myself with caring and understanding people to guide me through the procedures. For this reason, I would like to thank again Alexandre Charlet and Domitille Boudard for their incredible support at every step of this project!

Good luck for the next students who wish to organise a scientific event, EURIDOL’s annual call was just sent out, so do not miss your chance guys!

The partnership between the HaPpY Programme, the Heidelberg Pain Consortium and EURIDOL allowed us to meet other young neuroscientists and to discover one of the world leading biology research University. We also discovered a city that has kept its medieval charm, hidden between the mountains, while offering a variety of entertaining activities in student driven atmosphere.

This Summer School was centered on chronic pain and its comorbidities but we learned more than that. Indeed, the first three days were dedicated to soft skills development, including scientific projects management, scientific writing and presenting confidently, and were greatly animated by the Schiller & Mertens coaching agency. This provided us with moments of really useful exchanges to reflect about our own project as well as to learn how to create and collaborate with students from other experimental background. The final days consisted of great talks and scientific discussions with leading neuroscientists from all over the world. We had the opportunity to discuss in restricted groups with these researchers which allowed to have enriching and elaborated discussions about science, of course, but also gender equality and career management.

This exciting programme made the event very interactive and personally enriching. We were able to meet fantastic students who became friends and share deeply interesting discussions on pain research. We really hope EURIDOL will continue to organize amazing events like this one, offering their students career guidance ideas, because that is what Heidelberg was for us!

Traboule Labs!

Xavier FABIAN, Managing Director:

Our goal at Traboule Labs ? Use our expertise in application development and data science to make the world a better place. Nothing less. To do this, we build high-impact projects, while maintaining our ethical and human values.

• Matilde Cordero-Erausquin (UPR 3212 – INCI) for her project "CSCP: Role and interaction of corticospinal and corticopontic pathways in fine motor skills"

• Meggane Melchior (UMR 7364 – LNCA) for her project "PREMA-PAIN: Long-term impact of extreme prematurity on pain responses and the relationship to pain"

Apart from the good Italian food and the magnificent view from the villa’s conference room, the week was filled with various interesting talks about neuroscience, especially in the scope of disease modeling. From anxiety and depression to chronic pain, via neurodegenerative diseases, and ranging from human patients to animal models, the discussions were diverse. 16 students were reunited for this summer school, coming from Italy, Spain, Russia, Albania, Hungary, Iran, France, and all had the opportunity to present their project and discuss it with their peers, which raised very interesting questions and discussions for their projects.

The invited speakers were also in great number and gave interesting talks, with thematics per session, which allowed to cover several subjects such as “Brain under stress”, “Neuropsychiatric research”, “Neurodegenerative disorders”, “Nerve injury”, “Microglia”; but also sessions dedicated to methodological approaches such as “Innovative methodological approaches” or “Stem cell models”. The broad variety of subjects was one of the big strengths of this summer school, along with the students all living together, which led to very passionate discussions and hopefully long-lasting science relationships.

The summer school will probably happen again in about two years, so keep your eyes open!

Aside from enjoying the city in the evening, we spent four days attending plenary lectures of highly distinguished experts in the field sharing their cutting-edge research and addressing the current and future developments in pain science. The congress was divided into 4 topics: “Pain syndromes”, “Pain therapies”, “Diagnosis and measurement in pain” and last but not least, “Basic in pain” which provided courses about mechanisms of pain in animal models and in human studies but also its impact at a psychological, social and economic level. We also attended workshops and poster presentations that lead to exceedingly interesting scientific discussions highly relevant for my PhD project. All in all, this congress provided me the opportunity to meet distinguished experts in the field of pain and to find out about current and future developments in pain science. I highly recommend it to people working in pain studies and wanting to broaden their horizons. So, to those interested, the next EFIC congress will take place in Budapest in September 2023!

Her lecture took place on Thursday, March 24th from 4pm to 6pm, in the seminar room at INCI (8 allée du Général Rouvillois, 67000 Strasbourg).

Dr Judith Nicogossian is a linguist and anthropobiologist specialised in health. She has been a consultant for 10 years, applying anthropological theories and practices to the needs of private sector organisations through the design and direction of studies. Results are disseminated to experts and the general public through various media, columns, seminars, conferences, hackathons, serious games and scientific publications. She is also President of the French Association of Anthropology - Grenoble School.

The approach to pain is multidisciplinary because physiological causality alone cannot account for the complexity of a human’s relationship with his/her pain, raising questions of anthropology. As the scientific director of a start-up company specialised in pain management, and having directed studies for health industry companies to take into account patients' feelings of pain and suffering in the management of their illnesses; and as a lecturer on subjects related to pain management, she presented her field of expertise in understanding pain.

Une conférence grand public du Jardin des Sciences, en partenariat avec NeuroStra et Neurex.

The day was proposed in a hybrid format, allowing participants to join the presentations and discussions online. However, most participants enjoyed coming to the venue - a first since before the pandemic. A cheerful atmosphere during the breaks perfectly complemented the interesting presentations and discussions.

The EURIDOL team thanks all participants for making this event a successful day!
