Objective 3: Training and Communication

Part 3 of the REVIDA Chair focuses on the supervision and support of postgraduate students involved in research programs, by participating in local training programs and promoting exchanges between international and French universities to attract qualified students.

Results

Two PhD students (CIFRE), one M2 work-study student, and three M2 internship students have been recruited. The REVIDA team participated in the development of the Master’s in Infectious Disease Applied Research work-study program at Lyon 1, for which a supervised project was completed in the first semester of 2025 and will be renewed annually. Regarding student reception, a student from the University of Sao Paulo was welcomed to acquire expertise in analyzing the interferon response. Students from the Republic of Congo will also be invited to discuss the Chair’s work within the joint research laboratory.

To date, 8 scientific articles have been published within the framework of the chair, and the team has participated in 8 national or international conferences in the form of oral or poster communications. 

A motion design video was used to present the concept of universal diagnosis of respiratory viral infections through host response analysis in a simple, visual, and accessible way for all audiences.
