Enfants sans Cancer Run - Team Young Researchers (5)
2021-09-26 08:00 - 12:00
Hi!
Join the “Enfants sans Cancer” race on Sunday, September 29, 2019 at the Saint Cloud National Domain. This race raises funds to support research into childhood cancer, the leading cause of child death due to the lack of specific treatments for children.
Because the cause is useful and the atmosphere of the race is really nice, we create a team again.
Come and help us advance the search, sneakers on your feet and not pipettes in your hand!
Who is joining us?

Florian Andrianiazy obtained his PhD in physics in 2015 after a CIFRE PhD carried out between the Thalès research centre and the laboratory of interface physics at the Ecole Polytechnique. After a long experience in the world of young researchers, he co-founded PhDTalent in 2017, whose objective is to accelerate the connection between the academic world and companies through freelance missions by researchers, recruitment and events.
Gweltas Odye defended his PhD on renal ciliopathies at the Imagine Institute in 2018. Since then, he has specialised in innovation consulting. At the interface of scientific and financing issues in terms of R&D and innovation, he is currently a consultant within the scientific pole dedicated to innovation financing of KPMG Avocats (KPMG Global), and assists French and international companies on a daily basis in financing their innovation projects.
Mathilde Maillard is in her third year of PhD in materials at the Mateis laboratory of Insa Lyon, a mixed research unit from Insa Lyon, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and CNRS. In June 2020, she created her first podcast of “Bien dans ma thèse”, followed by a series of podcasts and videos to remedy the lack of information and support on the PhD. She quickly diversified by launching a website, a Youtube channel and Twitch and signed her partnership with Bpifrance to promote i-PhD, a competition intended for doctoral students.
Clément Gautier is director of external innovation in the department of rare diseases and neurosciences at Ipsen. He got his PhD in Biophysics in 2005 in the Laboratory for Optics and Biosciences at Ecole Polytechnique. He then spent five years as a postdoctoral fellow in Harvard Medical School at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital to study mitochondrial dysfunctions in animal and cellular models of Parkinson’s disease. Back in France, he worked at the Paris Brain Institute as a research scientist for two years. From there he was recruited at Servier where he led a team working in novel cellular assays for drug discovery and novel targets in neurodegenerative diseases. At Servier, he became director of external research and innovation in the Neuroscience department, before going into his actual position at Ipsen.
