This prestigious funding - worth two million euros - has been awarded to pursue his research into the mechanisms of lung regeneration following respiratory infections such as Covid-19 or influenza, ultimately leading to the development of new therapeutic strategies to counter excessive damage and prevent severe forms of the disease. ERC ERC SYNERGY GRANT Laurent Nguyen The European Research Council has selected the UNFOLD project (Unfolding the dynamic interaction between mechanical and molecular processes in brain folding) as one of the 37 beneficiaries of the Synergy Grants 2023 program. This fundamental research project, in which Laurent Nguyen’s team is participating, will be funded with over 10 million euros to decipher the mechanisms of cerebral cortex folding. Together the partners will pay special attention to the complex interplay occurring between biological and mechanical processes that drive folding, thereby providing a deeper understanding of the development and formation of our brain.
