The research program developped at Inserm U632 focuses on three main themes:  hepatic detoxication, hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) and liver stem cells. The work is based on the original methodology of primary cultures of human hepatocytes, and combines both basic and clinical research.

Key words: human hepatocyte culture, cytochrome P450 (CYP), gene regulation, nuclear receptors PXR and CAR, metabolism and side effects of drugs, replication of hepatis C virus, liver stem cell, embryonic stem cell, differentiation

Inserm U632 is part of the Federative Research Institute (IFR122):
Cell Biology, Molecular Genetics, Infectious Processes and  Pharmacology, and is affiliated to the Biotherapy Research Institute (IRB).
