Factors of persistence of leukemic cells (CANTHER)

Research team - UMR9020 CNRS – UMR1277 Inserm

Description

Our team focused on the discovery of factors that contribute to the long-term persistence of leukemia cells such as tumour dormancy, and the characterization of predictive genomic markers of the evolution of malignant blood diseases. Our results specifically highlighted the role of immuno-evasion (PD-L1, CCL2) and tumor stem cells. We are evaluating new genomic markers of malignant blood diseases, such as predictive markers of treatment failure and relapse. In collaboration with chemists, we are developing new methods to target protein/protein interactions in dormant tumour cells. We are also exploring new therapeutic strategies and developing new drugs targeting transcription factor/DNA interaction.
