Presentation

The Nutrition Genetics and Environmental Risk Exposure Research Unit (NGERE, UMRS U1256 Inserm-UL) is located on the Brabois Health Campus in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, France.

The laboratory focuses its research activities on the trajectories of healthy and pathological aging, with particular emphasis on one-carbon metabolism, the genetics of obesity, cancer, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). We conduct both basic and translational research to better understand the biological mechanisms underlying these conditions and to identify novel diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic approaches. We develop preclinical studies aimed at evaluating innovative treatments for rare diseases, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH/NASH), and chronic inflammatory bowel diseases.
 
Our research seeks to unravel how genetic, nutritional, and environmental factors interact across the life course to influence disease susceptibility, progression, and prevention.
