PRECLINICAL & TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH
Cellular Plasticity and Cancer Group

Our group focuses on the interplay between cellular plasticity, stem cells and cancer. Cellular plasticity is recognized today as a critical feature of cancer cells that enables them to transit between different cellular states, including reversible transitions.

Cellular Plasticity and Cancer Group
PRECLINICAL & TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH
Growth Factors Group

We focus our research on mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies and most importantly, how to overcome it by showing that breast cancers resistant to T-DM1, an antibody-drug conjugate ADC)- can be efficiently treated with the second generation ADC SYD985 (Nadal-Serrano et al.).

Growth Factors Group
CORE TECHNOLOGIES
Cancer Genomics Group

VHIO’s Cancer Genomics Group serves as a Core Technology laboratory. We are also dedicated to translational research as well as the development of novel genomic tests.
