The Fonroga Foundation, which supports initiatives and achievements in the fields of culture and health in the Toulouse region, has awarded two prizes to two INFINTy researchers.
Created at the end of 2016, the FONROGA corporate foundation (Fondation Roland Garrigou pour la Culture et la Santé) supports initiatives in the fields of culture and health.
As part of its 2025 call for projects, which focuses primarily on oncology and immunology, FONROGA awards the Young Researcher Prize, which recognises the quality of work (publications, scientific achievements, obtaining funding) 3 to 8 years after the thesis. At the awards ceremony, Jasper Kamphuis (1st prize) and Aurora Pignata (2nd prize), both (teaching) researchers at INFINITy, were recognised for the excellence of their scientific careers. INFINITy is proud to see two of its young researchers receive such distinction, demonstrating the dynamism and quality of the research carried out by the institute.
