Research topics & objectives
Studying the transformations mechanisms of T lymphocytes at the origin of T-cell lymphomas, using functional genomics and cellular biology approaches, evaluated on cell lineages and human samples as well as dedicated mouse models. Characterising the genomic alterations of new B-cell lymphoma sub-types to define new diagnostic and prognostic markers. Studying the resistance mechanisms to inhibitors of the BCR pathway in B-cell lymphomas. Studying metabolic de-regulations in different lymphoma sub-types.Research topics
- T-cell lymphomas: functional genomics, new mouse models, TCR signalling role.
- B-cell lymphomas: molecular and cellular characterisation of lymphomas in the marginal zone, follicular lymphomas and lymphomas of the CNS.
- The impact of molecular alterations of B and T-cell lymphomas on sensitivity to new anti-cancer agents and on patients’ evolution.
Lymphoma sub-types
- B-cell lymphomas.
- T-cell lymphomas.
Key words
