I would like to thank the Institut Cancer et Immunologie for their dedication to advancing projects that are both structuring and innovative in the regional context. I applied for the A*MIDEX Interdisciplinarity 2022 call for projects with the help of ICI, which set up a "fair play" pre-selection system for all researchers, while remaining rigorous in its selection criteria. Following ICI's endorsement, my research project was able to enter the selection process set up by A*MIDEX. I then called on the institute again to finance a thesis project for a brilliant foreign student. ICI's selection of this student was, I believe, strongly linked to the coherence of the thesis project with the A*MIDEX funding sought.
