\nThe Laboratoired\u2019Excellence Labex SIGNALIFE <\/b><\/h2>\n
welcomes 49 international students <\/b><\/h2>\n
at the University Nice Sophia Antipolis<\/b><\/h2>\n
The scientific excellence program SIGNALIFE entitled \u00ab\u00a0Network for Innovation on Signal Transduction Pathways in Life Sciences\u00bb is funded by the French government initiative \u00ab\u00a0Investissemnet d\u2019Avenir\u00bb. SIGNALIFE regroups 49 Research teams in the Nice Sophia Antipolis area associated with the CNRS, Inserm, INRA, Inria and involves the Anti-Cancer Research Center A. Laccassagne and the CHU Nice. Labex SIGNALIFE under the scientific direction of Dr. St\u00e9phane Noselli and managed by the University Nice Sophia Antipolis, is a unique and ambitious project that has been awarded 11 million Euros over 8 years (2012-2019).<\/p>\n
The scientific project focuses on cellular signaling to better understand how living cells communicate under normal and pathological conditions. At the heart of the program is a top level, selective PhD training program, which aims to recruit some of the best French and foreign PhD students and to ultimately create a campus of excellence on cellular signaling.<\/strong> The international PhD program is affiliated to the Graduate School for Health and Life Sciences at the University Nice Sophia Antipolis. In addition to the research project undertaken in the SIGNALIFE research teams, the students will receive interdisciplinary training, participate in international exchanges and be exposed to comprehensive range of extracurricular activities to complete the training of highest quality PhD researchers (scientific writing and presentation skills, research management\u2026)<\/p>\n
Each year a call for applications to recruit new SIGNALIFE students will be distributed among international research institutes of highest standing all over the world. 460 applications were received for this second call for applications. After evaluation of the candidates and stringent selection, some 65 international students have been pre-selected.<\/p>\n
The selected students were invited to a two day on-site visit on the Valrose Campus, on June 16th<\/sup> and 17th<\/sup>, 2013. The students came to Nice from all over the world: 73% from European countries (10% from France), 16% Asians, 6% Africans, 4% Americans. They were joined by 38 Researchers from 6 institutes, who are affiliated to UNS and who participate in the labex SIGNALIFE (Institut de Biologie Valrose: iBV, Institut de Pharmacologie Mol\u00e9culaire et Cellulaire: IPMC, Institut de Recherche sur le Cancer et le Vieillissement Nice: IRCAN, Centre M\u00e9diterran\u00e9en de M\u00e9decine Mol\u00e9culaire: C3M, Institut Sophia Agrobiotech: ISA, and Inria Sophia Antipolis-M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e Research Center).<\/p>\n
On the program for those two days were the presentation of the SIGNALIFE project and the PhD program by St\u00e9phane Noselli and Robert Arkowitz (director of the SIGNALIFE PhD committee), scientific presentations by each student held in the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Grand Ch\u00e2teau on the Valrose campus and individual interviews with the researchers. The students and researchers continued their discussions over dinner at the Maison du S\u00e9minaire in Nice.<\/p>\n
The on-site visit was a great success. UNS and the participating teams had a chance to present, what they have to offer to the students, and at the same time 24 highly qualified future PhD students were selected for the second installment of the SIGNALIFE PhD program starting in September 2014.<\/p>\n
