The NAOS ecobiological approach is an integrative vision of health that extends far beyond the skin, and is part of a global, temporal approach.
Today, NAOS is engaged in research into the natural history of health at the confluence of the medical sciences and the humanities (biology, medicine, dermatology, anthropology, archaeology, psychology, philosophy and art history) and is delighted to announce the first Edition of the NAOS ECOBIOLOGY AWARD.
The result of a partnership between 2 men who share the same convictions, Jean-Noël THOREL, pharmacist-biologist and founder of NAOS, and Dr Philippe CHARLIER, physician-anthropologist and former Director of Research and Education at the Musée du Quai Branly- Jacques Chirac.
This prize is intended to reward work already completed and/or published, or a project based on the integrative approach of Ecobiology.
