Additional comments

The team is based at the Cyceron center, a structure that provides a stimulating work environment as it groups several research units and several research tools, such as a cyclotron 1 PET-CT, 1 PET-MRI animal studies, 1 3T MRI for human scans and a 7T MRI for small animals. The lab is located in the beautiful and historical city of Caen (Normandy, France, ) which is 2 hours by train from Paris; it is also just 10 minutes away from the beaches. The city is within driving distance of popular Normandy attractions including Bayeux and its famous tapestry, the D‑Day Landing Beaches, and the picturesque Pays d’Auge, home of cider and cheese.
