À propos de moi
Lucie Laplane is CNRS permanent researcher (CRCN) at lnstitut d'Histoire et Philosophie des Sciences et des Techniques (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne).
She works on stem cells, clonal evolution in cancer, tumor microenvironment, and regeneration. She mixes philosophy with experimental approaches (wetlab biology) and bioinformatic analyses. Her goal is to use philosophy to contribute to science (thus mainly publishing in scientific journals), in the line of Philosophy in Biology/Medicine. To develop such interdisciplinary research, she works in a biology lab at Gustave Roussy Cancer Center, where she is hosted by the team "Hematopoietic tissue aging" since 2014, as well as with Leïla Perié lab at Curie ("Quantitative Immuno-Hematology").
She is currently the coordinator of 4 projects: (1) "Lineages: questioning central assumptions in cell biology" (Funding: ANR); (2) "Clonal Evolution and Cancer: a philosophical and experimental analysis (Funding: 80 Prime CNRS); (3) “How does cancer kill? An interdisciplinary approach to cancer treatment” (Funding: ARC); (4) "Philosophy of Cancer biology: do cancer treatment induce cancer cell decanalization?" (Funding: Cancéropôle IDF). All of them involve philosophy and experimental biology, some involve mathematical modeling.
At Gustave Roussy, she organizes internships for students in Philosophy, to provide them access to science lab.
She was awarded the CNRS Bronze medal en 2021. Her PhD was awarded the Aguirre-Basualdo prize of the Chancellerie des Université de Paris in 2014.
