Genetic Toxicology Laboratory
Institut Pasteur de Lille
Genetic Toxicology Laboratory
Created in 1981 by Professeur Daniel Marzin, the Genetic Toxicology Laboratory of the Institut Pasteur de Lille performs on demand genetic toxicology studies to assess the genotoxic and mutagenic potential of various types of substances under strict GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) conditions. Currently directed by Doctor Sophie Simar, toxicologist, this reference laboratory is one of the largest genotoxicity research centres in France.
Boasting a broad range of areas of expertise (human health, animal health, cosmetics, chemistry, botanicals, nanotechnologies, environment, etc.) our consultants at the Genetic Toxicology Laboratory can provide expert advice concerning the choice of tests to be carried out and can interpret the test results.
