Organization activities
Our research topics focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the development of bone pathologies of tumoral origin (primary bone tumors) or not (vascular calcifications, arthritis, unconsolidated fractures …). Our projects integrate basic research, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials.
Our laboratory, Unité Mixte de Recherche INSERM and Université Bretagne Loire (UMR 1238), consists of 3 research teams:
- Team 1: Micro environment of primary bone tumours
Signalisation and therapeutic targeting
Team leader: Françoise REDINI – Francoise.Redini@univ-nantes.fr
- Team 2: Inflammation and cellulars communications in bone pathologies
Team leader: Pierre LAYROLLE – Pierre.Layrolle@univ-nantes.fr
- Team 3: Genetics, epigenetics and cellular stress in bone pathology
Team leader: Benjamin ORY – Benjamin.Ory@univ-nantes.fr
