Mr Vincent Favaudon, INSERM, French National Institute of Health and Medical Research Vincent Favaudon is director of the unit for reproductive toxicology, signalisation and experimental radiotherapy at the research centre of the Institut Curie. The centre’s research examines the mode of action of anticancer therapies, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. They unite basic radiobiology and molecular pharmacology for new therapeutic strategies. The main goal of molecular pharmacology is to promote the development of innovative concepts and test new combinations of chemical and radiation therapies that may alter signalling mechanisms and repair radiation-induced lesions. |
Mr Jean-Claude Lehmann, Honorary Professor at Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6) and Honorary President of the French Academy of Technology.
