Science Festival – Saint-Louis Hospital, Paris
The Science Festival at the Leukemia Institute
On October 10, 2025, the Leukemia Institute hosted the Science Festival for the very first time at Saint-Louis Hospital.
On this occasion, we opened our doors to patients and their caregivers for an exceptional behind-the-scenes look at leukemia research.
Our Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, researchers, engineers, and physicians presented their work through a series of interactive and engaging workshops.
It was a unique opportunity to see how fundamental and clinical research come together to better understand, prevent, and treat leukemia.
The event brought together around fifty participants — patients and caregivers — in a friendly and enriching atmosphere.
