I believe the best science is built in environments where people feel respected, challenged and supported. Throughout my career, I have sought to create a research culture founded on fairness, intellectual curiosity and mutual trust, where ideas can be explored openly, different perspectives are welcomed and every member of the team is encouraged to grow. I enjoy asking difficult questions, following unexpected observations and exploring ideas that challenge conventional thinking. Some of the most rewarding moments in research begin with a simple hunch, an unexpected result or a conversation across disciplines. I encourage my team to remain curious, think independently and approach scientific problems with both rigour and creativity. Developing people is one of the most rewarding aspects of academic life. My goal is not only to train excellent researchers but to help each person discover their own strengths, develop confidence and build an independent career. Success is measured not only by publications, but by the people who leave the laboratory equipped to make their own contributions to science and healthcare. Above all, I believe that scientific progress depends on integrity, collaboration and generosity. We achieve more by supporting one another than by competing in isolation, and the strongest research environments are those where people feel valued as both scientists and individuals. https://www.marignol-lab.org/contact-1 daily 0.75 2021-03-26 https://www.marignol-lab.org/radbio-facts daily 0.75 2021-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6034f001d2fad339cc5652ae/1616607647712-5YW73X61TKYR79VGOAMS/RadBioFact+tumour+control.png RadBio Facts Did you know? The goal of curative radiotherapy is local tumour control. Most likely to translate into improved patient survival, the probability of success increases with radiation dose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6034f001d2fad339cc5652ae/1616668569736-F0UZZWSD8YNZISL8HO2C/RadBioFact+dose+response+.png RadBio Facts Did you know? Radiobiology can help clinicians anticipate the impact of a change in radiation dose on tumour and/or normal tissue complication response rate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6034f001d2fad339cc5652ae/1616668501617-FJGIGI9TSCI5WPV7YPG8/RadBioFact+time.png RadBio Facts Did you know? Radiotherapy should be delivered over a short time and as scheduled. Interruptions can change the radiobiology of tumours and tissues and with it, treatment outcomes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6034f001d2fad339cc5652ae/1616668816215-Y7B7X9ULQW87S9NE356D/RabBio+and+Phys.png RadBio Facts Did you know? The energy deposition pattern of ionising radiation within cells links physics with biology. This explains why different types of radiation will have different biological effectiveness. A phenomenon that we do exploit in the clinic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6034f001d2fad339cc5652ae/1616668874880-ATB6CXAR9ZIWRNY9KCMY/RB+Fractionation.png RadBio Facts Did you know? Biologically, fractionated radiation doses are less efficient in causing cell death than single doses. Yet fractionated radiotherapy cures disease. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6034f001d2fad339cc5652ae/1616668929092-IZRO4LT2X9FP7WEPLKP3/DNA+damage+Fact.png RadBio Facts Did you know? Ionising radiation uniquely produces clusters of different types of DNA damage. The damage is random, and this complexity largely contributes to biological toxicity. https://www.marignol-lab.org/from-biology-to-impact daily 0.75 2026-07-10
