Institut Curie (2,000 persons) is a foundation which has expanded upon the pioneering work of Marie Curie and was state-approved in 1921. It has grown to become the largest cancer research center dedicated in France, pioneering an interdisciplinary approach to research and treatment. The aim of Institut Curie Research Center and Hospital is to transform basic scientific knowledge into new diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic practices and products as quickly as possible. Institut Curie Research Center is composed of 61 teams including biologists, chemists, physicists and clinicians.

The Research Center works closely with the Hospital, which is the leading European center for breast cancer care, a national reference center for numerous tumours and is currently developing an intensive clinical research program. The Hospital is known for providing the most efficient, innovative therapies to fight cancer. Working with these clinical and research teams is a special Translational Department which helps implement the transfer of advances from the lab into the hospital or to industry. Its skills in genomics, post-genomics, immunomonitoring, pharmacology and biological resources provide added value to the discovery process and to clinical research.
