The France 2030 “Women’s and Couples’ Health” research program is pleased to announce the laureate teams of the call for applications for the establishment of two multidisciplinary research consortia on endometriosis and infertility.
These consortia aim to support research in basic biology, clinical biology, epidemiology, and the humanities and social sciences to the tune of nearly €13.6 million, and to pave the way for key innovations in the fields of endometriosis and infertility.
The call received a strong response, with 134 eligible applications.
The letters of intent were evaluated by the research program’s International Scientific Advisory Board. This panel, composed of renowned experts, assessed the scientific quality of the proposals, their alignment with the program’s objectives, and their ability to integrate into a multidisciplinary consortium.
The selected teams were then invited to draft a joint work program, under the supervision of the consortium coordinators, for submission to the ANR and evaluation by an independent international panel.
Andrew Horne, Chairman of the Board. MD-PhD. Clinical Researcher, Gynecological Surgeon, Endometriosis Specialist, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Cathy Herbrand, PhD. Sociologist, Researcher specializing in the Sociology of Reproduction, De Montfort University, Leicester, United Kingdom
Michelle Nisolle, MD. Clinical researcher, Gynecological Surgeon, Endometriosis Specialist, University Hospital of Liège, Belgium
Peter Humaidan, MD. Clinical researcher, Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Specialist in Infertility (female and male) and Assisted Reproduction Technology, Aarhus University, Denmark
Peter Lénárt PhD. Researcher specializing in Reproductive Cell Biology, Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Göttingen, Germany
Anna Murray PhD. Researcher specializing in the Genetics of Infertility, University of Exeter, United Kingdom
Each research consortium has a pair of coordinators. These coordinators were responsible for orchestrating the drafting of a joint work program by the selected teams and managing the allocation of the budget.
