The Radiation Epidemiology Group of U1018 INSERM/IGR investigates all aspects of
radiation epidemiology. The group is located in Gustave Roussy Institute. The group includes
two teams: epidemiology and dosimetry. The Dosimetry team develops methods and
software to estimate the radiation dose in and outside of the radiotherapy fields and at
distance from radiation sources in brachytherapy. The group is experienced in participating in
multipartner European research consortia and is a member of the current / recent EURATOM
contracts GENE_RAD-RISK, CHILD-MED-RAD, and CHILD-THYR. This partner will bring
expertise in the following areas to the project: Epidemiology, Cohort analysis, Biostatistics,
Dosimetry, Pediatrics, Oncology, and Cardiology. All the technical platforms of Gustave
Roussy Hospital, which is the largest cancer treatment hospital in France, will be available to
the consortium.
