Institut Curie

In 1909, Marie Curie founded the Institut Curie as a private foundation dedicated to cancer research and patient treatment. A century later, the Institut Curie's three sites in France are a driving force in the international fight against cancer, and the organization has been recognized as France's leading cancer research institution.

Institut Curie is committed to hospital care, scientific research, sharing knowledge, and preserving a legacy. With each of these objectives, Institut Curie has spent more than 100 years illustrating an unwavering commitment to public interests. As the top cancer research center in France, the Institut's joint researcher and physician teams produce cutting-edge, multidisciplinary innovations in understanding and treating cancer. Furthermore, it is dedicated to preserving and broadening the reach of this knowledge, so that its impact spreads far beyond the borders of France. Through this collaborative, technologically advanced research, the organization leaves behind a legacy to improve quality of life not only for current patients, but also to train future researchers and physicians to help the next generation of patients.

Although Institut Curie is a large research institution, it is deeply concerned with patient care and the interests of patients. The organization's Hospital Group develops and provides comprehensive care for more than 14,000 cancer patients with the central goal of improving quality of life at every stage of the disease. Institut Curie currently employs more than 3,300 researchers, physicians, and caregivers at its three sites in Paris, Saint-Cloud, and Orsay.
