Institut Curie’s Research Center is an entity renowned internationally for the excellence of its basic research in life sciences, and for the many resulting breakthroughs in the fight against cancer.
The Institut Curie Research Center aims to understand the complex mechanisms that make living organisms function. The basic research it houses facilitates effective translational research, itself the basis of an inestimable source of innovation that answers the scientific, technological and medical challenges posed by cancer. The scientific advances facilitated by translational research can affect anything from the normal or cancerous cell to the whole organism, opening the way to new knowledge that in turn provides the innovative therapeutic solutions that are essential to the fight against cancer.
The Research Center brings together the world’s top researchers in 88 interdisciplinary teams and provides them with 19 state-of-the-art technology platforms. It fosters an environment of interdisciplinarity, mutual inspiration, and clinician collaboration while opening up partnership opportunities, both in France and worldwide.
