APRC & APRC microbiome

The APRC Association Prevention of Cardiometabolic Risk is a non-profit association created in 2004 by Claude VINCENT. The latter was an industrialist in Pharmaceuticals (Roussel-Hoescht and Leurquin Mediolanum), nutrition (Protéika and Dietic&Co) and nutrition/microbiome (LNC Therapeutics being an R&D Biotech), so he knew both the problems of Research and the dissemination of results. In addition, since the 1970s he has worked for several humanitarian associations (UNICEF, Foundation of France and Medical Research Foundation).

The APRC was created to disseminate the concept of Metabolic Syndrome to the medical and paramedical profession and the Public. The notion of Metabolic Syndrome with hindsight appears to be the first explanation of a link between chronic diseases. The notion of chronic inflammation and responsibility of visceral fat in many cases has made its way to the emergence of the notion of microbiome, which was much more explanatory in the notion of most chronic diseases and a fundamental ecosystem.

Thus the APRC has followed the path of medical research to disseminate new discoveries and to intervene in the evolution of medical practice and lifestyle of patients and the public in order to play a role in PREVENTION whether it is Primary (avoid disease) Secondary (return to a healthy situation) or Tertiary (block the progression of the disease). Until today, the cure of chronic disease is not ensured by medicine. The microbiome represents a hope for solving this problem.

APRC Partnership

 

The APRC has naturally approached the National Academy of Medicine, which is mandated by statute to make recommendations to enable it to organize symposia on innovative topics such as abdominal obesity, stopping the stacking of recommendations in type II diabetes, the current need for Patient Therapeutic Education, the reform of the follow-up of patients operated on in bariatric surgery.

Faced with the necessary global nature of R&D, which is currently limited to a limited number of academic teams but is rapidly expanding with many problems to solve, the APRC has become globalist and has moved closer to the entity that brings together all the Academic Health Academies involved in InterAcademicPartnership for Health IAP. In France, the Académie des Sciences has joined the partnership.

To follow the evolution, the APRC has created the Microbiome APRC which will focus on solving this problem in order to know if the potential of this research is fulfilling its promise.

A first World Academic Colloquium on microbiome was organized in October 2017 in Paris with the main leaders of the Microbiome.

During this Colloquium, the first decision was to create an IAG microbiome Inter Academic Group
on microbiome entity under the aegis of the APRC microbiome, which would bring together all these volunteers to carry out the 2019-2025 programme.


IAG microbiome

 

The structure of the microbiome IAG includes:

  • A «Supervisory Board on ethics and compliance» with the vocations of the Academies of Health.
    It is chaired by Claude JAFFIOL, a member of the French Academy of Medicine, and is surrounded by members of other academies
  • A Chairman Philippe SANSONTTI (Pastor) and CSO Joel DORE (INRA)
  • Leaders in each Work Group whose names are mentioned in the Program
  • Participants in each WG being recruited

Microbiome foundation

The Microbiome Foundation was created to support the microbiome revolution by privately financing academic R&D projects and by informing the public about the importance of preserving the microbiota, in order to enable everyone to maintain their health capital, particularly through food.

Thus the Microbiome Foundation and the IAG Microbiome have created a partnership associating the academic and philanthropic worlds to share their ambition to raise public awareness of the links between nutrition, microbiota and health.
