Inauguration of the 7‑Tesla MRI at Lille University Hospital: a major step forward for TIPITCH

On 28 April, Lille University Hospital (CHU de Lille), lead institution of the RHU TIPITCH project, inaugurated its 7‑Tesla MRI scanner—an exceptional piece of equipment opening up unprecedented opportunities for clinical research in neuroscience and neurovascular diseases.

This ultra‑high‑resolution imaging technology represents a major strategic asset for the TIPITCH project – Transforming the prognosis of haemorrhagic stroke.

A key lever to better understand haemorrhagic stroke
Within TIPITCH, the 7T MRI will be used to:

🔹 Identify new imaging biomarkers of peri‑haematomal oedema following intracerebral haemorrhage
🔹 Improve the identification of patients at risk of severe disease progression
🔹 Refine predictions of functional outcome, a central challenge for personalised patient care

The ambition: to enhance anticipation and clinical decision‑making through ultra‑high‑precision imaging.

Proven expertise leading the way

This ambitious programme will rely on the excellence of the CHU de Lille teams, under the leadership of:

Prof Grégory Kuchcinski
Dr Renaud Lopes

Their expertise, combined with the unique capabilities of the 7T MRI, is a decisive asset for the scientific success of the project.

What’s next?

First TIPITCH patient inclusions: before summer 2026

This inauguration fully illustrates the CHU de Lille’s ability to bring together cutting‑edge infrastructure, clinical excellence and translational research, all in the service of patients affected by haemorrhagic stroke.

Regional victory for Guillaume RENEDO: heading to the national final!

We are extremely proud to congratulate Guillaume Renedo, a PhD candidate involved in the RHU TIPITCH project, who has brilliantly won the regional final of Ma Thèse en 180 secondes, held in Limoges on 23 April.

Double distinction:
➡️ First Prize – Jury Award
➡️ Audience Award

Thanks to this outstanding performance, Guillaume will represent Nouvelle‑Aquitaine at the national final, which will take place in Lille on 28 May 2026.

A demanding PhD topic, explained with clarity and conviction

Among 18 PhD candidates from higher education institutions across the region, Guillaume stood out for the quality, pedagogy and accessibility of his presentation, focusing on his PhD research:

“Numerical simulation of intraparenchymal haemorrhage: from in silico modelling to the development of an innovative endovascular device.”

This work lies at the very heart of the ambitions of the TIPITCH project, combining numerical modelling, technological innovation and clinical challenges related to haemorrhagic stroke.

Onwards to the national final

This qualification marks entry into the final stage of a high‑level science communication competition, where Guillaume will proudly represent his region, his field of research and French translational research on the national stage.

Post‑Stroke Conference in Tours: Key Takeaways from March 31

On March 31, at MAME Tours – the City of Creativity and Innovation, a conference dedicated to post‑stroke care was held, organized by the CHRU of Tours in partnership with the University of Tours and with the support of the TIPITCH project.

This event was a true success in many respects: ◾ the choice of a crucial and still too rarely discussed topic: life after the acute phase of stroke;
◾ a full conference room, reflecting strong interest in the subject;
◾ a wide diversity of participants brought together: healthcare professionals (medical, paramedical, and social care), stroke survivors, caregivers, institutions, patient associations, and citizens engaged with these issues;
◾ and above all, the richness and authenticity of the discussions among women and men committed to continuously improving long‑term care and support for people affected by stroke.

Within the RHU TIPITCH project, we are particularly proud to support this initiative led by the CHRU of Tours, a key project partner and leader of Work Package 4, dedicated to the establishment of a national cohort and the creation of a brain imaging core analysis center.
This event perfectly illustrates an approach that places patients at the heart of both clinical practice and research thinking.

Congratulations to all the teams at the CHRU of Tours and their partners for the high quality of the organization and their collective commitment.
