Signalisation, radiobiologie et cancer (SRC)

Laboratory presentation

The ETIC unit is responsible for major discoveries in the field of developmental biology, particularly in the neural crest and melanocyte lineage, as well as in the pathophysiology of melanoma and retinoblastoma. It works to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of normal and tumor development of melanocytes with the dual objective of identifying therapeutic targets and leading to new treatments in melanomas associated or not with radiotherapies. In collaboration with clinicians at the Curie Institute, teams can work with samples of patients with melanoma. They also benefit from the numerous technical platforms of the Institut Curie as well as the Protontherapy site on the Orsay campus.
