The LARIA Team

The LARIA is associated to the CIMAP Laboratory and is dedicated to radio-biology and hadron-biology both for Basic Science and more applied research for improving radiation-therapy protocols. The LARIA is also in charge of the operation of the radio-biology platform devoted to the study of the effect of ion beams on biological systems. The main goals of this Team are to develop innovative and relevant 3D models of healthy tissues (cartilage) and in-vitro reconstructed Tumors (chondrosarcoma) suitable for hadron-therapy and to study the effect of ion beams on healthy tissues.

The two themes around which these research projects develop are:

  • The study of targeted effect of carbon ion therapy on human articular cartilage and chondrosarcoma
  • The study of non-targeted effect of carbon ion therapy on human articular cartilage
