Hybrid teaching for classes at staggered times

The health crisis has proven to be a tremendous catalyst for the use by the academic world of distance learning devices. A forced march that forced teachers and students to acquire sometimes unmastered techniques. In the Faculty of Economics, Social Sciences and Management, a think tank led by Jean-Yves Gnabo, Director of the Economics and Management department with shift hours, and Denise Van Dam, educational coordinator, investigated the opportunity of open the field of possibilities in technical and educational matters. Objective? Offer learners more flexible Bachelor's or master’s training courses designed specifically for adults returning to study, by providing them with an environment that allows them to live a memorable, impactful experience that serves as a springboard.

Public defense of doctoral thesis - Julien FAVRESSE

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 was quickly declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020.At the start of the pandemic, healthcare professionals were faced with the marketing of numerous kits designed to measure binding antibodies. The role of neutralizing antibodies as the best correlate of protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection was quickly highlighted. A neutralization assay with the use of pseudovirus was therefore developed by our team and compared with several binding assays.There have been considerable efforts to produce and clinically validate new vaccines against COVID-19. The CRO-VAX HCP study was designed to assess the humoral response in a population of healthcare professionals who had received two doses of COVID-19 BNT162b2 vaccine.Given the decline in vaccine efficacy over time and the emergence of variants likely to evade immunity, a third dose was quickly recommended by the authorities to boost immunity. This was administered to 155 volunteers in the CRO-VAX HCP study.Still facing a decline in vaccine efficacy over time and the emergence of new variants, a second adapted booster was proposed. In September 2022, 54 participants in the CRO-VAX HCP study received this second booster. The humoral response was assessed and neutralizing antibodies against several variants were measured. In addition, we also measured the cellular response using an interferon-gamma release assay. Compared with the humoral response, which declines considerably over time, the cellular response remained fairly stable. This could therefore explain why individuals with low antibody titers can still be protected against a severe form of the disease .
