Our areas of research

Axis 1: MECHANISMS

Fundamental biology

  • Deciphering the heterogeneity of leukemias with a multi-omic approach
  • Screening for intrinsic vulnerabilities in leukemias
  • Exploring the cellular consequences of therapeutic stress

Axis 2: MICRO-ENVIRONMENT

Stem cells and microenvironment

  • Study cellular interactions between leukemia cells, stroma, or immune effectors
  • Explore the cellular consequences of therapeutic stress

Axis 3: PRECISION

Therapeutic agents and combinations

  • Testing innovative treatments on primary cells or preclinical models
  • Identifying promising treatment combinations and validating biomarkers

Axis 4: PREDISPOSITION

Prevention and precision medicine

  • Identify patients with predisposing germline conditions
  • Conduct longitudinal somatic studies

Axis 5: TRIALS

Early clinical trials

  • Developing innovative trials for precision medicine
  • Integrating biological data into clinical trials

Axis 6: CARE

Improvement of care pathways

  • Implement a post-treatment follow-up program
  • Explore quality of life measures, in collaboration with patient associations
