Unit of Functional and Adaptive Biology
Présentation
• Objectives : Current research topics include four main scientific domains (nutrition, degenerative pathologies and aging, reproduction, toxicology) in order to better understand human pathologies through the development of relevant preclinical models.
• Methods : Investigations are conducted on different animal and transgenic mouse models as well as on human tissues and cells. They rely on a wide array of methodologies ranging from non-invasive analysis of physiological parameters to cellular, biochemical or molecular approaches.
