The ERC Grant is the most prestigious European financing: given by the European Research Council, this grant rewards scientists from each discipline for the excellence of their work. Maxime Gauberti, researcher in neuroradiology at the university of Caen Normandie, is the proud laureate of an ERC Consolidator Grant 2024.

Along 328 laureates throughout Europe, Maxime Gauberti now benefits from an ERC Consolidator Grant for his project “Targeting tertiary lymphoid structures using magneto-margination”, which was awarded €1,970,480. The ERC Consolidator Grant is given to scientists at the beginning of their careers – 7 to 12 years after completing their thesis – who wish to strengthen their research team. This financing will allow Maxime Gauberti to pursue his research work on a method for targeting abnormal clusters of immune cells. This ambitious project paves the way to major advances in inflammatory diseases and cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Maxime Gauberti is a neuroradiologist, Clinical researcher at the Caen University Hospital Centree, deputy director to the tPA and neurovascular disorders team in the Physiopathology & imaging of neurological disorders (PHIND) unit, the Blood & Brain @ Caen Normandie unit, GIP Cyceron.

Every year, the European Research Council awards individual grants to scientists from each discipline. Created in 2007, the ERC is now part of the first pillar of the Horizon Europe programme, known as “Excellent Science”. The ERC grants, given for a 5-year period, support original and cutting-edge, ambitious projects of exploratory research. Five ERC grants are offered (Starting, Consolidator, Advanced, Synergy, Proof-of-Concept).
