The Inflammation Research Center brings together about 250 researchers, lecturer-researchers, hospital-university staff, technical agents (ITA), doctoral students, post-docs and trainees with the objective of establishing in France a Center of Excellence which links the basic research with translational and clinical research in inflammatory diseases.
The objectives of the IRC are:
-to understand fundamentally the basics of inflammatory processes and development fibrosis
-to identify new pathophysiological mechanisms of inflammatory diseases
-identify biomarkers associated with diseases and develop new imaging tools
-to create new preclinical animal models allowing proof of concept (POC) for the study of inflammatory diseases
-the search for new therapeutic approaches.
