Delphine Bouilly and her team assemble ultra-miniature electronic circuits and sensors to explore the dynamics of the interactions between biological molecules (DNA and proteins) or the fluctuations within a single molecule. The goal is to develop new tools to identify biomarkers associated with various types of cancer and to improve our understanding of the mechanics of basic macromolecules.

Improvement of radiation oncology treatments. The presences of specialized equipment in the department of radiation oncology (linear accelerators, computed tomography scanner, positron emission tomograph, brachytherapy suites) enables the development of projects which often have direct clinical applications.
Directs a research group of graduate students and interns from the department of physics and École Polytechnique. Students are located in the radiation oncology department in the Hôpital Notre-Dame du CHUM and work regularly with clinical personnel; i.e., clinical physicists, radiation oncologists, and technologists.
