Jean Monnet University, Saint-Étienne University Hospital, and Mines Saint-Étienne gathered all their stakeholders to celebrate a decade of excellence and innovation in the service of care, research, and training, on Friday, January 17.
Through numerous testimonials from institution heads and partners, the event provided an opportunity to revisit the genesis of this center of excellence and highlight the fruitful collaborations between researchers, engineers, and clinicians.
These collaborations between hospital and university professionals play a crucial role.
They unite knowledge and energies that lead to research projects capable of solving complex clinical problems.
Among these scientific advancements, the remarkable work of the Mines-Saint-Étienne teams, notably that of Professor Stéphane Avril, director of the SAINBIOSE laboratory, UMR INSERM, should be highlighted. His project JUWEN TWIN, supported by the award of a 3rd ERC grant, embodies tomorrow’s biomedical innovation by developing digital twins of human arteries.
The SAINBIOSE laboratory becomes an “International Joint Lab”
The presence of Didier Samuel, Chairman and CEO of INSERM, was noted at the event. It illustrates the importance of our research in the healthcare sector, particularly the connection between engineering and health, one of our School’s strategic priorities.
The signing of a letter of intent to establish the SAINBIOSE laboratory as an “International Joint Lab” with our partner Technological University Wien was a highlight of this anniversary. This document strengthens the commitment of stakeholders to profoundly transform medical practices through engineering.
