Integrative immunology of B lymphomas

Home > CALYM > Integrative immunology of B lymphomas

Research objectives and themes

Understand how the tumor cells of certain B and T lymphomas acquire or divert various immune functions in interaction with their micro-environment.

Research Themes

The team is studying the transcriptional heterogeneity of lymphoma cells and their immune microenvironment, using single-cell genomics approaches combined with large-scale bioinformatics analyzes.

Keywords

Germinal centers, follicular lymphoma (FL), diffuse large cell B lymphoma (DLBCL), angioimmunoblastic T lymphoma (AITL), single-cell RNA-seq, transcriptional heterogeneity, cell differentiation
