Launch of the INCEPTION project on Friday October 13

The INCEPTION project for research into the emergence of pathologies through individuals and populations is one of five projects (out of a total of 36 proposals) that was selected by an international panel following the "Instituts Convergences" call for proposals, a new initiative under France's second "Investing in the Future" program. It is led by the Institut Pasteur and jointly directed by Olivier Gascuel, Head of the C3BI, and Thomas Bourgeron, Head of the Human Genetics and Cognitive Functions Unit. This project is closely related to the notion of biological big data. The aim is to create synergies between different areas of expertise (biology, medicine, IT, mathematics, statistics, physics and social sciences), paving the way for the development of innovative solutions that address the global societal challenge of disease emergence, for both populations and individuals.
