Basic Research
Researchers at the Institut Curie are seeking to understand the working of normal and cancerous cells. Why and how do cells become malignant and produce tumors?
Basic research is conducted in Paris and Orsay in several units that are associated with the CNRS, Inserm, or a university. The main topics are cell biology and developmental biology, genetics and oncogenesis, epigenetics and genotoxicology, pharmacochemistry, physical chemistry of living organisms, cell and molecular imaging, and systems biology.
4 priorities for the basic research at the Institut Curie
To promote interdisciplinary and innovative basic research for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes
To develop advanced technology platforms
To disseminate knowledge nationally and internationally
