Société De Biologie De Strasbourg: 2015 Thesis Prize Ceremony Program.pdf

The Ceremony of the Thesis Awards 2015 by the Société de Biologie de Strasbourg took place at the Institut de Physiologie et de Chimie Biologique in Strasbourg. The event began with welcoming remarks from Dr. Christophe Romier, President of the Société de Biologie de Strasbourg, followed by greetings from Pr. Catherine Florentz, Vice-President of the University of Strasbourg, and representatives from the Alsace-Champagne-Ardenne-Lorraine region and the Eurométropole de Strasbourg.

A plenary lecture was delivered by Dr. Marat Yusupov on "Structural basis for the inhibition of the eukaryotic ribosome." Following this, candidates presented their research between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM:

- Dr. Anna Belorusova discussed structural studies of vitamin D nuclear receptor complexes.
- Dr. Romain Bourdy explored functional implications of the tVTA in controlling mesencephalic dopaminergic systems.
- Dr. Olivier Cunrath examined metallome and iron homeostasis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, focusing on siderophores.
- Dr. Mélodie Duval presented research on ribosomal protein S1's role in gene expression.
- Dr. Anne-Sophie Gribling investigated the translation mechanism of selenoproteins in cellular antioxidant defense.
- Dr. Amandine Grimm studied mitochondria, neurosteroids, and biological rhythms' implications for health and disease.
- Dr. Chloé Habermacher introduced a molecular optical probe for studying P2X receptor channels' structure.
- Dr. Charlène Lemaître researched how nuclear position influences DNA repair pathway choice.

After candidate presentations, the jury deliberated from 12:15 PM to 12:55 PM. The awards were presented at a lunch buffet at the Collège Doctoral Européen in Strasbourg at 1:00 PM.
