The Cancer Research Center of Lyon (CRCL) installed an exhibition on October 14 along Boulevard Jean XXIII in the Grange Blanche neighborhood, offering Lyon residents a unique perspective on the research conducted in its laboratories.
Blending science, art, and public space, this open-air exhibition provides passersby with a visual and informative experience. It offers a glimpse, from the street, into the fascinating world of laboratories, a realm filled with unusual objects and a distinctive atmosphere. Scientific imagery, often both aesthetic and unique, unveils a different side of research work.
This exhibition is also a way to highlight the efforts of research teams in their daily fight against cancer. By showcasing these images and faces, the CRCL aims to emphasize their dedication while revealing the richness of the scientific work carried out behind the center’s gates.
Based on the work of five CRCL researchers (Florie Reynaud, Arthur Bassot, Laurent Fattet, Baptiste Matin, Barbara Yaël Braz, Toufic Renno, and Isabelle Coste), the production of this exhibition involved several teams from the center. All laboratory photographs were taken by Éric Le Roux, a photographer at Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University.
The project also received support from Christophe Vanbelle, head of the CRCL Imaging Platform, and Mélina Gautier, a research engineer on the platform.
