🌍 TOR de France 2025! On 9-10 October 2025, the MENTOR consortium actively participated in #TORdeFrance – a science club in France focused on the Target of #Rapamycin (TOR) pathway.

All our Principal Investigators (PIs) and Doctoral Candidates (DCs) actively participated, sharing ideas, insights, and advancing collaborations within the #mTOR research communities.

🚀 MENTOR Scientific #Kick-off Meeting – A Milestone Moment! 8th October 2025 marked a special day for the MENTOR consortium! The Scientific Kick-off Meeting brought together all doctoral candidates, who had the chance to present their research projects to the Scientific Advisory Board.

💪 Dr. Carla Fladrowski and Mickaela Rozenberg (E-TSC, European Patient Advocacy Organisation) 🎤 @mario-pende.bsky.social, our Network Coordinator, presented the MENTOR program, its consortium, and the exciting events ahead.
