The CRCL comprises 22 teams, organized in three departments.

Signaling of tumoral escape


GENERAL AIM OF THE DEPARTMENT

Director : Patrick Mehlen
Deputy Director : Laurent Bartholin

Eukaryotic cells are able to activate failsafe mechanisms in order to prevent or inhibit abnormal cellular proliferation triggered by an aberrant mitogenic activation. These oncosuppressive mechanisms generally lead to a premature senescence of the cells affected, or to their apoptosis.

Cancer cell plasticity

GENERAL AIM OF THE DEPARTMENT

Director : Alain Puisieux
Deputy Director : Mathieu Gabut

The genetic and functional diversity of malignant cells constituting a given tumor (intratumor heterogeneity) and the plasticity of cancer cells are crucial mechanisms involved in the onset of tumorigenesis and in tumor development. These mechanisms also participate in post-treatment drug resistance and in cancer relapse.

Immunity, virus, inflammation


GENERAL AIM OF THE DEPARTMENT

Directors : Christophe Caux & Fabien Zoulim

The development of a tumor is influenced by intra- and extra-cellular factors, including inflammation, microenvironmental signals and immune cells. Furthermore, the development of approximately 15% of human cancers is triggered by a viral infection, and several teams of the Department, thus, preferentially study a virus-induced cancer, namely hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of the teams of this Department is to better comprehend how these factors favor or inhibit viral or tumoral establishment, persistence, progression and dissemination.
