The Institut Curie is a foundation of public utility that combines one of Europe’s largest cancer research centers with two hospital facilities in Paris and the Île-de-France region. Founded in 1909 on a model devised by Marie Curie, it maintains a continuum from fundamental research to innovative patient care. The organization brings together researchers, physicians, care teams, and support staff to advance cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Its hospital network serves as a reference center for breast cancer, ocular tumors, and pediatric cancers. The research program spans basic, translational, and clinical work conducted through its Center for Research, translational research department, and associated hospital facilities. In January 2025, the institute announced the operational launch of FRATHEA on its Orsay site, part of its ongoing development of cancer therapy capabilities.
