The year 2025 marked a major turning point for our project to create the world’s first foundation dedicated to muscle, the Myology Foundation. This milestone was symbolized by the ceremonial laying of the cornerstone of our future building on June 17th, and by the ten-year commitment of our first pioneering partner, CARAC, a mutual organization specializing in savings, retirement, and provident insurance. This project was also shared with the Minister of Health, Ms. Stéphanie Rist, during her visit to our Institute in early December.
The year was also punctuated by new projects and significant advances that further strengthen our expertise in myology: the ongoing clinical trials and the development of patient inclusions; the structuring of the new Myocare department to support these trials; the development of learning activities around myology; numerous international scientific publications and awards; ISO 20387 certification of excellence for our Myobank-AFM Biological Resource Center; acceleration of our digital transformation and data initiatives; and enhancement of our technological offering within our MyoImage and AVATAR platforms. 2025 also saw the continuation of our efforts to raise awareness of muscle as a public health issue, notably through the third edition of “Muscle Week” in June, which was more dynamic than ever.
The year 2026 will be one of acceleration and transformation towards the future Myology Foundation.
We will take our research excellence and technological innovations even further, expand our high-level collaborations and partnerships to advance our projects, accelerate the implementation of our future Myology Foundation, and continue to promote muscle —a major determinant of our overall health— notably by organizing the 2nd Muscle Conference on June 2nd, at the Ministry of Health, and the 4th “Muscle Week,” from June 1st to 7th.
