Pascal Fossat, winner of the France-Canada Research Fund (FFCR) 2025

Pascal Fossat (IMN, Bordeaux, France) and Mike Hildebrand (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) are among the 2025 winners of the Franco-Canadian Research Fund (FFRC) call for projects, funded by the French Embassy in Canada.

Together, they are studying spinal serotonin receptors as potential new therapeutic targets for pain.

This $15,000 grant will enable researchers from both countries to work on joint projects and intensify scientific mobility and collaboration between France and Canada.

In 2025, 16 new projects led by Franco-Canadian teams received funding.
