RESEARCH TASKS

BRAIN TUMORS

Biomedical research

Brain tumor pathology is one of the biomedical research areas privileged by the Poitiers CHU. The research is pursued in the framework of the activities of the INSERM 935 team headed by Professor Ali Thuran : “Malignant stem cells and hematopoiesis”.

It is for the purposes of this research that a fragment of each operated tumor is conserved in the tumorotheque of the Poitiers CHU, under the supervision of Professor  Pierre Levillain (pathological anatomy department) and Doctor Lucie Karayan-Tapon (biological oncology department).

Thanks to the “molecular genetics of cancer ” CHU Poitiers platform, labelled by the Institut du cancer (INCA), operated patients benefit from the most recently established means of diagnosis.

The works performed in this field benefit from the scientific expertise and the logistical support of the CHU Poitiers clinical investigation center labelled by the INSERM. They have been regularly published in national and international medical and scientific journals and reviews.

On this them, the Poitiers CHU also regularly participates in national and international collaborative efforts.
