Project description:While conventional cancer treatments, such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, have been combined for decades in an effort to treat cancer patients, the emergence of novel fields of cancer research have led to a renewed interest in combining conventional treatments with more innovative approaches. The realisation that cancer progression is not exclusively due to changes in the cancer epithelial cells, but also involves changes in the tumour microenvironment, has opened new avenues for combination treatments. Here we discuss the use of combination therapies presented at the 55th Irish Association for Cancer Research (IACR) Annual Conference, highlighting examples of novel therapeutic strategies which, combined with conventional therapies, may greatly enhance not only the overall outcome for patients, but also the quality of life for cancer survivors. Among the novel treatment strategies, immune metabolism, epigenetic therapies and physical exercise are presented. In addition, novel technologies in the field of precision medicine, which will be useful to discover new therapeutics and to stratify patients for combination treatments, are also discussed.

"French Phage Network" annual conference-eighth meeting report.

Project description:The French Phage Network organizes a scientific meeting every year in which the community of researchers from academia and industry, as well as clinicians participate due to the growing interest in phage therapy. Although centered on giving exposure to future generations of scientists from the French community with senior investigators invited as main speakers, the meeting has also welcomed participants from other countries. Covering almost every aspect of bacteriophage biology, the meeting is an opportunity not only to expose the youngest to a broad range of topics, but also to share their most recent "work in progress" without undergoing a stringent selection process to obtain an oral presentation slot. This report reflects the dynamism of the research field on bacteriophages across multiple disciplines, including molecular and structural biology, ecology, evolution, therapy, and biotechnology.

"French Phage Network" Annual Conference-Seventh Meeting Report.

Project description:The French Phage Network (Phages.fr) has continuously grown since its foundation, eight years ago. The annual conference, held at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, attracted 164 participants from the 11th to the 13th of October 2022. Researchers from academic laboratories, hospitals and private companies shared their ongoing projects and breakthroughs in the very institute where Felix d'Hérelle developed phage therapy over a century ago. The conference was divided into four thematic sessions, each opened by a keynote lecture: "Interaction between phages, mobile genetic elements and bacterial immune system," "Ecology and evolution of phage-bacteria interactions," "Molecular interplay between phages and their hosts" and "Therapeutic and biotechnological applications of phages." A total of 32 talks and 33 posters were presented during the conference.
