The focus is on innovation, reducing side effects, and improving patients' quality of life.

This research relies on an experimental radiotherapy platform that allows all types of irradiation, linked with imaging, and on experimental models of tumors and healthy tissues, to develop the transfer from laboratory to clinic.
