Focus III - Nutrition and Cancer
|
|
|
Coordinators: Marie-Paule Vasson, Martine Laville
This focus area aims to:
- Develop cross-disciplinary research bringing together fundamental and clinical research teams;
- Improve the transfer of breakthroughs in fundamental research to the development of nutritional guidelines, as part of a policy on prevention, clinical care and treatment for cancer patients;
- Support the organization and development of a true policy encouraging scientific events and cooperation within the Auvergne/Rhône-Alpes area.
The scientific project has two main facets:
- Identifying nutrients likely to curb the occurrence of hormone-dependent cancers (breast and prostate cancers) and describing their mechanisms for action, focusing on the molecular level;
- Understanding the links between obesity and development of breast cancer, and devising new nutrition-based prevention strategies.
