Bienvenue sur le site du centre de recherche de l’Institut Curie

At Institut Curie Research Center, researchers and medics joining from all the world share the same motto: Working with Curie’osity’ for discovery beyond all borders, disciplines and scales to dive into the secrets of science and medicine.

You will be able to navigate through the four major domains of research. First, the biology of radiations, cell signaling and Cancer, second Development biology, Cancer, Genetics and Epigenetics, third integrative tumor biology, immunology and environment, and fourth multiscale Physics-Biology-Chemistry and Cancer. These domains are highly interconnected via transversal activities involving our advanced training unit, and our technological platforms that constantly evolve to match new challenges.
