The Science Festival at the Leukemia Institute

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.
