On January 1st 2007, INSERM Research Center included 9 distinct groups, involving 211 persons (researchers + teaching-researchers + technicians/engineers + postdocs + PhD students). Four teams were involved in cancer biology, one in cancer epidemiology, and four in lipids and nutrition. Teams were as follows:

The current configuration of the Research center UMR866-LNC gathers more than 200 researchers, teachers-researchers (including forty doctors), Engineers, Technicians, Post-Docs, PhD students and Students distributed in 8 teams:

• ‘Chemotherapy, lipid metabolism, and anti-tumoral immune response’ - François Ghiringhelli
• ‘Gene regulation in hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis’ - Laurent Delva
• ‘Heat shock proteins: cell death, cell differentiation and tumorigenic properties’ - Carmen Garrido
• ‘Epidemiology and clinical research in digestive oncology’ - Come Lepage
• ‘Oxidative Stress and Cardiovascular Risk: Fundamental and Clinical Interplay’ - Catherine Vergely
• ‘Pathophysiology of dyslipidemia’ - Bruno Vergès
• ‘Sensing and metabolism of lipids and dietary contaminants in the oro-intestinal tract: effect on health and feeding behaviour’ - Philippe Besnard
• ‘Lipid transfer proteins and lipoprotein metabolism’ - Laurent Lagrost

In addition, our research center hosts 2 other teams susceptible to join in during the next years :

• ‘Nitric oxide and cancer’ - Ali Bettaieb
• 'Genetics of Developmental Anomalies - GAD’ – Laurence Faivre
