Governance
The host institution of the Milieu Intérieur project is Institut Pasteur, Paris. Pr Lluis Quintana-Murci and Dr Darragh Duffy jointly coordinate the project.
Project coordination
The multidisciplinary, integrative nature of this project is highlighted by the dual leadership provided by Dr. Darragh Duffy and Prof. Lluis Quintana-Murci. Together, they have worked to federate this LabEx project, bringing their combined expertise in Translational Immunology and Human Genetics.
The project associates 45 teams from the scientific (Institut Pasteur, Institut Curie, Institut Imagine, Université Sorbonne Paris-Nord, Université de Paris, INSERM, CNRS, EPFL, Karolinska Institutet and Trinity College Dublin), medical (Georges Pompidou, Cochin and Saint Louis Hospitals) and industrial sectors (Institut Roche; MYRIAD-RBM, Genentech).
The Consortium governance structures comprises of:
Steering Committee
Monitoring Committee
Scientific Advisory Board
Data and Sample Access Committee
Steering Committee
The steering committee is the major decision-making body of the consortium: led by the two coordinators and composed of representatives of all institutional partners, it meets once per year.
Monitoring Committee
The monitoring committee is the internal advisory board, which is led by the coordinators and composed of the members of the steering committee, leaders or members of the academic teams and representatives of the industrial partners. This committee will meet at least once a year. If possible the steering and monitoring committees will be held together and will include scientific seminar series and working groups to discuss the establishment of procedures and the troubleshooting of active technological challenges.
Milieu Intérieur holds an annual meeting every year to keep all those working on the project abreast of the past achievements, ongoing studies and future plans. This is also an opportunity for everyone working on the project to share ideas and provide input on the progress of the project. In 2020 the annual meeting was held entirely online, with participants from 4 continents attending the conference.
