LABEX TOUCAN
Toulouse Cancer Laboratory of Excellence

The Toulouse Cancer Laboratory of Excellence is a project that aims to understand the mechanisms of resistance and relapse in blood cancers and
by extension in certain solid cancers.

Labelled Ibisa

Imag’IN is a technological platform offering its expertise for the study, implementation and analysis of projects involving histopathology, functional anatomy and biological imaging techniques.
In particular, we have recognised expertise in virtual microscopy and image analysis.

Team

BIOINFORMATICs IUCT

Bioinformatics Unit
IUCT – CRCT

The bioinformatics platform of the Toulouse University Cancer Institute (IUCT) and the Toulouse Cancer Research Centre (CRCT) is made up of 12 bioinformaticians, statisticians and computer engineers with multidisciplinary expertise to handle the data generated by the various sequencing, cellular and tissue imaging platforms for research units (CRCT) and the hospital (IUCT) in routine practice. This work is based on a very high-speed computing cluster, GPUs and the development of innovative computing solutions.

LABEX & TRAINING

 

CARe Graduate School aims to train master and doctoral students in the field of cancer, ageing and rejuvenation.

The Phd Program within the CRCT complements this teaching by inviting students to participate in scientific animation.
