Founded on 1st January 2014, the Centre de Recherche en Myologie (CRM) is a multidisciplinary research hub focused on muscle and its associated pathologies. The CRM is a Joint Research Unit in Health (UMR-S 974) with two supervisory bodies: INSERM and Sorbonne University (SU). It also benefits from a close partnership with the Association Institute of Myology (AIM). Located at the heart of the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital Group and Sorbonne University's Faculty of Health, the CRM enjoys a privileged scientific and medical environment. The activities of the CRM are dedicated to understanding muscle within its environment and translating these discoveries into new concepts to improve the care of patients with neuromuscular diseases. The CRM's research focuses on developing innovative approaches to cell, gene, or pharmacogenetic therapies, based on the understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of specific diseases, and thus tailored to them. It brings together around 150 researchers, clinicians, students, engineers, and technicians from INSERM, Sorbonne University, CNRS, AP-HP, and AIM, representing various nationalities, in a truly international, multicultural, and inclusive environment.
The Centre of Researcher in Myology is the coordinator of a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) project, funded by the European Commission.

The project will start on 1st March 2025 and will last for 48 months.
INSERM is looking for a Project Manager (M/F) to lead and coordinate the implementation of the MSCA-DN network " ENTRY-DM: Interdisciplinary doctoral training on oligonucleotide-based therapies for myotonic dystrophy ," coordinated by Mario Gomes-Pereira.
