Translational Research
We develop translational projects in close collaboration with clinicians specialized in liver diseases.
Research
Within the team, we have a long standing expertise on:
• fibrosis (V. De Ledinghen)
• hepatocellular adenoma (P. Bioulac-Sage, C. Balabaud)
We also develop projects that aim to :
• identify biomarkers of Sorafenib efficiency (JF. Blanc/F. Saltel)
