� Summary<br />
This is a young promising team with a str<strong>on</strong>g financial support from nati<strong>on</strong>al <strong>and</strong> internati<strong>on</strong>al agencies. The<br />
compositi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the group is good with a bioin<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>matician, post-docs <strong>and</strong> students. Several collaborati<strong>on</strong>s are<br />
acknowledged in France <strong>and</strong> abroad. Together with the fact that the team leader indeed per<str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g>med very well during<br />
his PhD <strong>and</strong> post-doctoral training, this group should then produce important results in the near future.<br />
� Strengths <strong>and</strong> opportunities<br />
Very good post-doctoral publicati<strong>on</strong>s in the field <strong>of</strong> telomerase. The new project <strong>on</strong> retro-transpositi<strong>on</strong> in<br />
human cells is attractive <strong>and</strong> ambitious. The financial support <str<strong>on</strong>g>for</str<strong>on</strong>g> 5 years is significant allowing recruitment <strong>of</strong><br />
collaborators.<br />
� Weaknesses <strong>and</strong> threats<br />
The group is young <strong>and</strong> will have to fight to exist in a highly competitive field. We do not know if the scientific<br />
envir<strong>on</strong>ment is sufficient to develop such genomic project at the internati<strong>on</strong>al level. Similar to Eric Gils<strong>on</strong>’s group<br />
recommendati<strong>on</strong>, the recruitment <strong>of</strong> other basic research oriented groups will be very helpful.<br />
� Recommendati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
This is a young group with a great potential. However, the absence <strong>of</strong> producti<strong>on</strong> may be a problem in the near<br />
future. Thus, the team leader should focus <strong>and</strong> finalize <strong>on</strong>e <strong>of</strong> his <strong>on</strong>going projects by a good publicati<strong>on</strong> in the next<br />
two years. Possibly, the research project should be reoriented at the light <strong>of</strong> the results obtained since the creati<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> the team.<br />
