National collaborations

Since 2016, Creation of a joint research team (EMR) with clinicians and hospital academics from the University of Versailles Saint Quentin en Yvelines and Poissy Hospital.

CHI de Poissy St Germain and Hôpital Foch: over 6,000 deliveries a year.

Themes addressed in the EMR

• Impact of the microenvironment on male gametes and pre-implantation embryo development
• Development of targeted therapies for certain types of infertility
• Effect of the microenvironment on the molecular mechanisms of normal and pathological embryo implantation
• Impact of obesity and bariatric surgery on offspring
• Development of ovine models for the validation of human clinical practices
• Impact of uterus transplantation on offspring

Through its involvement in projects on the impact of maternal nutrition on the health of offspring, UMR BDR has forged collaborations with INSERM and AP-HP teams working on these themes in humans:

• University of Bordeaux, Nutrition and Integrated Neurobiology (NUTRINEURO), UMR 1286
• Inserm, U1016, Institut Cochin, Paris, France.
• APHP, Hôpital Jean Verdier, 93140, Bondy, France
• Univ Lille Nord de France, Unité Environnement Périnatal et Croissance, EA 4489, Université de Lille 1, Villeneuve d'Ascq, France

She has also developed collaborations with teams working on gestation (and its imaging) and placenta:

• Inserm U947, Université de Lorraine, Nancy, Pôle de Gynécologie-Obstétrique, Service d'Obstétrique et Médecine Fœtale, CHRU Nancy, France
• Institut Cochin, Université Paris Descartes, CNRS, UMR 8104; INSERM U 1016, Paris, France
