Research project
The group activities are organized around closely related axes that are supervised by senior researchers.
Our research programs focus i) on the characterization of anti-tumor T-cell responses in melanoma and colorectal carcinoma, as well as their regulation within the tumor microenvironment, both through immune checkpoints or activation of the tumor-cell inflammasome, and ii) on the characterization of relevant tumor-specific antigens, and the mechanisms leading to this specific expression, with the aim to identify new targets for immunotherapy in these solid tumors.
On a translational level, the objectives of our programs are to develop immunotherapy protocols in solid tumors (mainly with the adoptive transfer of effector T cells with optimized functions, associated or not with immune checkpoint inhibitors), and to identify early immune markers associated with clinical responses to immunotherapy treatments. Several projects from our group are conducted in the context of the LabEx IGO program, co-led by N. Labarriere (ImmunoGraft Oncology – http://www.labex-igo.com/).
Our research activities are organized around 3 interconnected axes, led by senior scientists:
Axis (1) led by N. Gervois
Immune intra-tumoral microenvironnement and regulation
Axis (2) led by F. Lang
Regulation of tumoral antigens expression
Axis (3) led by N. Labarrière et F. Lang
Anti-tumor Immunotherapy
