Ten research teams addressing public health issues

Fields covered by the research teams include:

• Determination of the impact of xenobiotics (drugs, mycotoxins, food contaminants, endocrine disruptors) on organisms by functional, genomic and analytic approaches (Team 1: TIM)

• Metabolism of Xenobiotics (Team 2: MeX)

• The impact of Endocrine Disruptors during Pregnancy (Team 3: GPE)

• Neuro-Gastroenterology & Nutrition (Team 4: NGN)

• Characterization of the toxicity of mycotoxins produced by certain fungi, natural contaminants of animal of human foods on the immune system (Team 5: BioToMyc - Biosynthesis & Toxicity of Mycotoxins)

• Genotoxicity & signaling (Team 8: GS)

• Understand why cured and red meat can cause colon cancer, and seek how to prevent this toxicity (Team 9: PPCA - Prevention and Promotion of Carcinogenesis by Food)

• Molecular & Cellular Toxicology of Xenobiotics (Team 10: TCMX)

• Hormonal regulation in the intestinal barrier function and the effects of xenobiotics (nanoparticles, endocrine disruptors ...) on the microbiota-gut-immune system axis, from the perinatal period to adulthood (Team 11: ENTeRisk)

• Study of molecular, cellular and metabolic stress of food contaminant toxicity and gene-environment interactions (Team 12: COMICS)
