Monthly seminar, February-June 2026, Institut Imagine (Room 531)
Imagine Morphogenesis Workshop
An open seminar series organized with Matthew Ricci (junior professor, Institut Imagine), bringing together biologists, mathematicians, and physicians for a critical reading of major texts on biological morphogenesis. Five sessions, each dedicated to a theoretical framework (dynamical systems, information theory, agent-based models, biomechanics, learning), Mondays 5-8pm at Institut Imagine (24 Boulevard du Montparnasse, 75015 Paris): 23 February (led by Roman Hossein Khonsari), 23 March, 20 April, 18 May, and 15 June 2026.
Course week, M2 MECENCLI, 9-13 February 2026
MECENCLI Week — Segmentation and CAD in Surgery
A course week organized by the PRIM3D platform and the Forme et Croissance du Crâne lab for the M2 MECENCLI program (Mechanical Engineering for Clinicians, Université Paris Cité). Introduces segmentation and computer-aided design in surgery (PRIM3D, Ady Steg building, Hôpital Broussais, using Slicer 3D and Blender), then quantitative methods in surgery — geometric morphometrics, 2D/3D image analysis (the lab, Lavoisier building, Necker Hospital, using RStudio, ImageJ, and MorphoJ). Each student carries out a personal segmentation and/or CAD project, presented at the end of the week; the best are 3D-printed.
PIR Cell Biology track, Université Paris Cité
Craniofacial evo-devo
The "Evolution and Development of the Craniofacial Region" module of the PIR research-initiation track (Cell Biology, Medicine/Dentistry route), co-organized with Ali Nassif. The course covers the foundations of evo-devo — the science of the links between evolution and development — applied to craniofacial malformations, drawing on molecular biology, comparative anatomy, and paleontology. Five sessions (evolution and development of the skull, of the middle ear, of the central nervous system, quantitative methods in evo-devo) followed by a guided visit of the paleontology gallery at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. Taught jointly by the Medicine and Dentistry faculties of Université Paris Cité (Necker and Montrouge sites), for about 65 students.
Training for surgical residents, with École Estienne
Scientific illustration
A scientific illustration training program for surgical residents, born from a collaboration between AP-HP and École Estienne (Annaïck Peron and Matthieu Lambert, DSAA instructors). Across eight sessions combining traditional drawing with digital tools (graphic tablets, Procreate), each resident produces an illustration for scientific publication or teaching, working from anatomical samples (muscle, liver, brain, bone). Described in a letter to the editor of the Journal of Stomatology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery — see Publications.
