The LabUM EpiGenMed research program builds on the international recognition of Montpellier's research in epigenetics, (epi)genomics, and gene expression, which it aims to consolidate and extend to other fields. EpiGenMed structures collaborations between fundamental research, medical research, and training in Montpellier.  It is part of the University of Montpellier's I-SITE program of excellence and is associated with the Biology-Health cluster, in particular the Genetics-Epigenetics axis. The scientific field of LabUM EpiGenMed concerns epigenetics, epigenomics, and gene expression, with the aim of studying the determination of cell development, immune defense, and metabolism, as well as their links to pathologies. Research in these fields is evolving rapidly, and an important aspect is therefore the development of new technologies and support for their transfer to industrial players in the health sector. Actions PhD Training Networks The LabUM EpiGenMed collaborative doctoral program funds networks made up of three Montpellier research teams for the joint training of three doctoral students. Four networks have been established since 2021. Collaborative Projects LabUM EpiGenMed aims to promote collaborative projects between Montpellier research teams on topics related to genetics and epigenetics. The call for projects concerns projects that address the complexity of biological mechanisms in physiological or pathological contexts. Six projects funded to the tune of €300,000 for a period of 24 months. Proof-of-Concept Projects Proof-of-concept project funding is for emerging concepts or new technological approaches that are still at a preliminary stage and need to be consolidated. The projects are carried out in collaboration between two research teams. Six projects funded to the tune of €50,000 for a period of 24 months. Events LabUM organizes and subsidizes international events in Montpellier. Prestigious seminar series: 3-4 seminars per year featuring renowned international speakers. Call for proposals for financial support for international conferences: 12 events organized in 2023 or 2024 received between €3,000 and €10,000 in support. Workshop in Epigenetics: Annual workshop for M2 students + seminars.

Doctoral schools affiliated with the Biology-Health Cluster CBS2 - Chemical and Biological Sciences for Health The CBS2 doctoral school trains PhD students in all areas of Biology-Health, from drug chemistry to clinical studies, from genes to behavior. Backed by the laboratories of the Biology-Health Cluster and the Doctoral College of the University of Montpellier, it offers training by and for research and prepares future PhDs for careers in academia as well as in the private sector. CBS2 Doctoral School website SMH - Human Movement Sciences Doctoral School 463 "Human Movement Sciences" brings together the research potential of the major university centers in southeastern France (Aix-Marseille, Montpellier, and Nice) in the field of human movement and its nervous, physiological, mechanical, behavioral, cognitive, and societal determinants.

FHU T.I.E. "Triangular analysis of interactions between host, infectious agent, and environment" Dr. A. MAKINSON (UM/CHU Montpellier) and Prof. E. TUAILLON (UM/CHU Montpellier) The TIE [taɪ] University Hospital Federation (FHU) - whose acronym refers to its generic objective of modeling human-microorganism interactions, from emergence to long-term complications, in a triangulation between host, infectious agents, and the environment—brings together stakeholders in the Montpellier-Nîmes area involved in research and care related to infectious diseases and related topics (microbiology, immunology, public health). Although the resources available to FHU are modest, these federations, which have existed in France since 2012, aim to stimulate translational research, improve the quality of care, and promote collaboration between university hospitals, research laboratories, and the private sector.

The originality of the TransVIHMI UMI lies in its multidisciplinary approach, whose initial main objective is to study the specific characteristics of HIV and associated diseases, particularly tuberculosis, from an epidemiological, virological, bacteriological, parasitological, clinical, and social perspective. The unit has shifted its focus to non-HIV infections, not only in the context of HIV co-infection, but also to neglected and emerging tropical diseases. More recent work has led to the development of a new area of research and intervention in the context of the response to epidemics (EBOLA).
