Deciphering the mechanisms of toxicity

Published on 13 October 2025

The CIBEST team has expertise in both chemistry and cellular biology. Our research is thus motivated by the understanding of the chemical mechanisms and the resulting biochemical consequences underlying toxicological events. The use of chemical properties of organic compounds and biomolecules is also key to the design of diagnostic and therapeutic tools. In order to collect relevant data, suitable models at the molecular level like isolated DNA or at the cellular level are necessary.

Oxidative stress

Interaction metals/peptides

UV and DNA damage

DNA adducts

DNA repair

DNA Epigenetic modifications

Advanced cellular models

Mixture effects
