Modèles de cellules souches malignes et thérapeutiques

Research unit

Description

The team brings together 3 independent research units to generate synergistic interactions in the field of malignant and therapeutic stem cells. In this configuration, Unit 935 associates a team with expertise in adult and embryonic stem cell biology with two teams working on membrane compartmentalization and chronobiology / chronotherapy. This association is expected to open new fields of research on development and differentiation and promote technology transfer. These teams are in close contact with a 4th team coordinating a national transfer technology network called INGESTEM dedicated to strategies for reprogramming adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS).
