Stress génotoxique et cancer
Research unit
The GSC laboratory studies the genetic and genotoxic events that occur in the development of cancers. The work is shared among 8 teams working in synergy on DNA replication, its repair, recombination phenomena, RNA and miRNA regulation, oxidative stress and radiation response.
Integrated in the Orsay Research Center, the GSC benefits from an integrated imaging platform and the numerous technical platforms of the Institut Curie (SGA, experimental radiotherapy, high-throughput DNA sequencing, etc.).
