Research units
Radiation biology and oncology department (SRO)
Analysis on the mechanisms underlying the formation and transmission of damage induced by (high- or low-dose) ionising radiation and the consequences in terms of long-term effects (cancer, fibrosis, premature ageing, inheritable genetic instability)
Department of genetic instability, recombination and repair (SIGR)
The SIGRR department analyses the fundamental mechanisms involved in DNA damage repair and cell survival,
The LRIG, the LMR, the LRD and the LERA together form a joint CEA-CNRS unit.
The LRIG, the LMR, the LRD and the LERA together form a joint CEA-CNRS unit.
Stem Cells and radiation department (SCSR)
The role of the SCRS is to analyse the cellular and molecular effects of radiation on both adult and foetal somatic stem cells. The LDRG and the LGAG together form a joint Inserm-Paris VII University-CEA research unit.
Department of radiation biology research and technical innovation (SREIT)
The SREIT drives the research needed in order to understand how the late effects of radiation therapy - especially cancers - are induced and appear, the aim being to assess the impact on public health. The SREIT also conducts experimental, metabolic and toxicology research in order to assess the effects of internal contamination events and the effectiveness of preventive measures.
