While already developing privileged relationships with the “Centre for Pathophysiology of Toulouse Purpan” (CPTP), the Georgian researchers discovered more deeply the training and research activities of the University Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier, with the goal of exploring new opportunities of cooperation.
Dr Isabelle Saves, Head of International cooperation at IPBS and CBI-Toulouse, presented the research activities of the CBI and IPBS to our Georgian guests. A visit of the IPBS facilities and discussions with researchers, Drs GeanCarlo Lugo, Christel Verollet and Celine Cougoule, allowed to identify common interests that will be pursued by further discussion and a sharing skill mobility programme between TSMU and the University of Toulouse; attention will be given to opportunities of co-tutelle and joint PhD, joint research projects and students exchange programs.
