Led by Professors H. Duffau and JP. Hugnot, our team explores different levels of brain plasticity, including cellular, structural and functional. Focusing on brain tumors and stem cells of the brain and spinal cord, our research aims to understand the molecular abnormalities and cellular origins of tumors, while developing innovative treatments and biomarkers. A complementary aspect of our work focuses on the plasticity of nervous system networks and nerve regeneration from stem cells, broadening our understanding of key mechanisms for significant therapeutic advances.
