Unit
Signaling, radiobiology and cancer (UMR3347 / U1021)
The cornerstone of our unit’s research thematic is its integrative view of molecular and cellular knowledge in a physiopathological context, ultimately favoring the development of innovative treatments for cancer. The unit, located on the Orsay site of the Institut Curie Research Center, has a significant critical mass, and the focusing of its interests on a main axis of research lead to the development of synergy and foster innovation and creativity

Improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the side effects caused by radiotherapyAlthough radiotherapy saves increasing numbers of cancer patients, at the same time we are seeing more side effects. A team from Institut Curie sought to better understand the mechanisms of lesions caused by this gold standard treatment.15/06/2023 -

Rétinoblastome : un projet ambitieux pour préserver la vision des enfantsL’Institut Curie, centre de référence pour le rétinoblastome, cancer pédiatrique de l’œil le plus fréquent, s’apprête à démarrer un projet de recherche pluridisciplinaire qui impliquera plusieurs de ses équipes de recherche et services hospitaliers.18/11/2021 -
FHL3: A Scaffold Protein, Architect of the Embryonic Nervous SystemThe various signals that orchestrate the first notes of the concerto that is the nervous system are part of a very complex score! Even so, researchers from Institut Curie, CNRS, Inserm, and Université Paris-Saclay* have managed to decipher the role played by FHL3, a modulator that precisely regulates the information interpreted by the cells. Their work was published in Cell Report.30/07/2021

Solar radiation and pollution: a mitochondrial perspective.
Although the mitochondrion is central to the genotoxic stress response, it has not received the attention commensurate with its importance. Thanks to the development of novel methods for isolating and internalizing functional mitochondria as well as techniques to analyze their condition, we can now better advance our knowledge on the subject. With increasing evidence of the toxic synergy between U

Modeling of MYC-driven malignant pediatric brain tumors and novel treatment options
Fredrik Swartling is currently a Group Leader, Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor in pediatric brain tumor biology at Uppsala University. A particular focus of his lab is on generating sophisticated inducible transgenic models for molecularly-defined brain tumors or avatar models and organoids derived from human primary neuroepithelial or induced-pluripotent stem cells. The lab also uses mult
