Governance and Functioning
The Directorate
The project CARPEM is managed by Prs PIERRE LAURENT-PUIG, MICHAELA FONTENAY and WOLF-HERVE FRIDMAN.
PR PIERRE LAURENT-PUIG: CARPEM Director
Pierre Laurent-Puig is oncology Professor at the Paris Descartes University Medical School (PDUMS). Since 2004, he is also director of the INSERM laboratory U1147 (former 775) “Medicine, Pharmacogenomics and Therapeutic Optimization” at Paris Descartes University. He works within the Department of Biology at the European Georges Pompidou Hospital Paris, where he is responsible for the Clinical Oncogenetic Unit. He is the scientific director of Cancéropôle Île-de-France.

“The three research projects developed thin the CARPEM are in close relation. The CARPEM will allow important progress in personalized medicine by integrating genetical, immulological and ethical dimensions. By gathering the different research teams, this project carried by AP-HP has a unique capacity to favour the transfer from personalized medicine to clinical practice and make it a reality for those suffering from cancer”. Pr Pierre Laurent-Puig (WebZine of APHP)
PR MICHAËLA FONTENAY : CARPEM deputy director
Michaëla Fontenay is Professor of Hematology at Paris Descartes University – Medical School and responsible of the Laboratory of Biological Hematology of “Hôpitaux Universitaires Paris Centre”.
Her research activities focused on the pathophysiology of myelodysplastic syndromes within the Inserm unit U1016 in the team “Normal and pathological hematopoïesis” at Cochin Institut.

Administrative governance
The administrative governance of CARPEM project is handled by Aurore Hattabi for the scientific coordination and Agnès Casi for the administrative and financial side.
Yannick Ladeiro, PhD: CARPEM Secretary General
After completing his PhD in liver tumor genomics in Jessica Zucman-Rossi’s laboratory, Yannick Ladeiro joined Eric Ogier-Denis’ team to work on chronic inflammatory bowel disease. He then joined Inception Sciences in order to set up an annex of this American drug development company in Paris. At the end of this mission, he trained in project management in a start-up company (Design Your Cube) by organizing the world’s largest Rubik’s Cube competition and by validating a university course at Centrale Lille. He then led and coordinated the HTE program (Cancer Plan 2014-2019) alongside Jessica Zucman-Rossi before joining CARPEM in early 2020.
Sandrine Pham, PhD: CARPEM Scientific Coordinator
Graduated as a medical laboratory technician, Sandrine joined in 2013 the team “Cell Cycle and Liver physiopathology” at the Cochin Institute as an assistant engineer. She then decided to pursue her university education with the SVT program at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (EPHE), and chose to complete her course with a PhD on liver metabolic diseases. She then joined the EPHE and the team Microbiota, Intestines, Inflammation at the Saint Antoine Research Center as a lecturer, before joining the SIRIC CARPEM team at the end of 2021.
Agnès Casi: Administrative and financial manager of CARPEM
After 17 years in the private sector in France and Quebec, Agnès Casi also worked in higher education for a few years in the Research Department of the University of Paris Dauphine-PSL, working closely with research centers and research teachers. Agnès Casi has acquired solid experience in administrative and budgetary management, HR management and project engineering. Also sensitive to the world of the Arts, Agnès Casi has been practicing the flute at the Conservatory and remains a great nostalgic of Claude Sautet’s movies.
