A STRUCTURING INTEGRATING THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN
CALYM is uniquely positioned across the entire R&D value chain, from excellent basic research to clinical studies for drug registration.
The multidisciplinary expertise required to implement this continuum is ensured by the articulation of 20 entities: a network of 18 public laboratories located in universities and hospitals throughout France, conducting research of excellence in the field of lymphoma, and 2 non-profit research associations, international leaders in clinical and translational research on lymphoma : The Lymphoma Study Association (LYSA), a leading international cooperative group in lymphoma research, and The Lymphoma Academic Research Organisation (LYSARC), the largest European academic structure dedicated to clinical operations in lymphoma.
Together, they create a coherent structure, coordinated by a professionalized operational team. The complementary expertise of CALYM’s 20 constituent entities covers all lymphoma subtypes and the cutting-edge fields of basic, translational and clinical research related to them (fundamental biological discoveries and new therapeutic targets, redictive /diagnostic/theranostic biomarkers, manipulation of the tumor microenvironment, oncoimmunology, cell therapy, -omics, signaling, etc.).
