Surgical Sciences
The Surgical Sciences Research Domain welcomes basic, translational or clinical projects dealing with diseases from the digestive, pulmonary and urogenital systems. Globally, all projects aim to find new strategies to minimize surgical aggression either in repairing (congenital disorders) or ablative/resection (malignant disorders) procedures.
