Contributions of physics, chemistry and engineering sciences to oncology (PCSI)Interdisciplinary approaches to oncogenic processes and therapeutic perspectives

Presentation

Objectives

To fund research projects that employ concepts or tools from physics, chemistry, or engineering sciences, aiming to achieve scientific and technological advancements in oncology (understanding mechanisms of carcinogenesis, diagnosis, therapeutic management, etc.). Both fundamental research projects and technological or methodological research projects are eligible. Original and innovative approaches involving risk-taking are encouraged.

Targeted Fields

Physics, medical physics, biophysics, chemistry, engineering sciences, biochemistry, cancer biology.

Types of Projects

• Short-term projects (18 months) aimed at establishing proof of concept.
• Large-scale projects (36 months) built on already obtained proofs of concept.

Specificities

• Projects must involve at least two different disciplines and include a minimum of 2 teams and a maximum of 4 teams.
• Each research team may submit only one proposal, regardless of its role : project leader or partner in a consortium.
• The same project cannot be submitted to the 2025 calls for proposals « Characterization of preneoplastic lesions and stratification of their evolutionary risks (PNP) » or « Contributions to oncology from mathematics and computer science (MIC). »
