Ce poste de technicien d'étude clinique est à pourvoir au sein de l’unité de recherche INSERM U970 dans l’équipe 11 : Approches multidimensionnelles en transplantation d’organes dirigée par le Pr Alexandre Loupy.
Ce poste s’intègre au sein d’un projet se focalisant sur la transplantation pulmonaire. Actuellement, la prédiction du succès ou de l’échec d’une greffe pulmonaire reste difficile car les mécanismes immunologiques autour d’un greffon sont mal connus. Notre équipe s’intéresse aux approches personnalisées pour la prédiction de risque post-transplantation (notamment les risques de survenue de rejet) par l’intégration d’informations multidimensionnelles. Cela regroupe des données provenant de la clinique, de l’histologie classique, de la biologie et éventuellement des données provenant de technologies innovantes en immunologie, biologie moléculaire, génétique et biomarqueurs.

The XV. Banff conference for allograft pathology was held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics in Pittsburgh, PA (USA) and focused on refining recent updates to the classification, advances from the Banff working groups, and standardization of molecular diagnostics.
His/her duties will include creating various machine learning-based tools or processes within the team, such as recommendation engines or automated lead scoring systems. The resource within this role should also be able to perform statistical analysis. You are detail-oriented, meticulous, and an analytical team player. You ask the right questions, effectively communicate across teams, and want an opportunity to help shape what data can offer to our knowledge of organ transplantation.
Accurate risk stratification of early heart transplant failure is required to avoid futile transplants and rationalize donor selection. We aimed to evaluate the statistical performance of existing risk scores on a contemporary cohort of heart transplant recipients.
After an exhaustive search, we identified 16 relevant risk scores. From the UNOS database, we selected all first noncombined adult heart transplants performed between 2014 and 2017 for validation. The primary endpoint was death or retransplant during the first year posttransplant. For all scores, we analyzed their association with outcomes, sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, and discrimination (concordance index and overlap of individual scores). The cohort included 9396 patients. All scores were significantly associated with the primary outcome (P < .001 for all scores). Their likelihood ratios, both negative and positive, were poor. The discriminative performance of all scores was limited, with concordance index ranging from 0.544 to 0.646 (median 0.594) and an important overlap of individual scores between patients with or without the primary endpoint. Subgroup analyses revealed important variation in discrimination according to donor age, recipient age, and the type of assist device used at transplant. Our findings raise concerns about the use of currently available scores in the clinical field.
The topic of ATC 2020 is “The Science of Tomorrow Starts Today” and covers the latest research in the field of transplantation. It showcases the research done in the industry too.
One of the most common reasons for long-term graft failure and patient death is an accelerated form of coronary artery disease called cardiac allograft vasculopathy. It is a frequent complication that affects up to half of patients within 10 years following heart transplantation. Yet, until now, little has been known about the different evolutive profiles of cardiac allograft vasculopathy and their risk factors.
The members of the Paris Transplant Group are present at the SFT congress which will take place from December 3, 2019 in Bordeaux, France.
The team of the Paris Transplant Group has been awarded at the ESOT 2019 congress in Copenhagen for its many contribution in the field of transplantation.
The Prize is given to a single Institution having submitted at least 5 abstracts for the event and granted with the best score. The Paris Transplant Group is very pleased to won this European award twice in a row. Check out the contribution submitted by the Group on the ESOT website: esotcongress.org. |
