History and organisation


Inserm was created in 1964 as a successor to the French National Institute of Health.[citation needed]


Inserm is the only public research institution solely focused on human health and medical research in France.[1] It is a public institution with a scientific and technical vocation under the dual auspices of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Research.[citation needed] Similarly to the US National Institutes of Health, Inserm conducts fundamental and translational research projects through 339 research units, run by around 13,000 scientists, including 5,100 permanent research staff members and 5,100 staff members co-affiliated with university hospitals and medicine faculties. Inserm's laboratories and research units are located all over France, mainly in the largest cities. Eighty percent of Inserm research units are embedded in research hospitals of French universities.[citation needed]


Inserm´s CEO is chosen by decree upon a proposal of the Ministers of Health and Research, advised by a review committee.[2]


Until 12 June 2018, Inserm´s CEO was Yves Lévy. By June 21st, eight candidates will be nominated, of which only two are publicly known, namely Philippe Froguel and Jessica Zucman-Rossi, while Yves Levy is expected to run again.[2]



Controversy


In May 2017 President Emmanuel Macron appointed Lévy´s wife, Agnès Buzyn as minister of health. Levy was criticized for the obvious conflict of interest. On May 29, 2017, a decree was issued that the French prime minister would carry out acts related to INSERM.[2]



Awards



Nobel prizes


Two Inserm research scientists have been awarded by the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. In 1980, the French immunologist Jean Dausset received the Nobel prize (along with Baruj Benacerraf and George Davis Snell), for his work on the discovery and characterisation of the genes making the major histocompatibility complex. In 2008, the French virologist Françoise Barré-Sinoussi was awarded, together with her former mentor Luc Montagnier, for the identification of the human immunodeficiency virus.



Grand prix de l'Inserm


Each year, Inserm awards three researchers in three major distinct categories. The Grand prix de l'Inserm recognizes major advancements in biology for an active researcher of the institution, the Grand prix d'honneur recognizes a French public institution's researcher whose contributions have had a major impact in science, and the Prix étranger (Foreign Prize) awards a foreign researcher for their particular contributions to biomedical research. In addition the Inserm has internal awards for engineers and young researchers.
