Research description

Cutaneous lymphomas are a fascinating cancer subtype with analysis at different disease’s stages. Our team involves clinicians and researchers working in the Dermatology, Pathology and Tumor Genetic Departments of Bordeaux University Hospital with coordination of the Cancer Biobank. We are the regional reference center of the French Study Group on Cutaneous Lymphoma, a National network whose database is hosted in Bordeaux and an EORTC trial center.

Focusing on the most aggressive cutaneous lymphomas, we aim at understanding which genetic alteration and mechanisms are driving their oncogenesis to establish new diagnostic, prognostic or predictive biomarkers.

At the translational level, we are setting up functional and experimental assays to analyze the lymphoma cell hallmarks such as proliferation, apoptosis resistance, migration and invasion.

Each principal investigator with its students develops its own project such as deciphering telomerase functions in aggressive T-cell lymphomas, modeling chromosomal or genetic mutations in genetically-modified cells and establishing patients-derived long-term cultures and xenografts. These models are used to assess the role of adhesion molecules and chemoreceptors in cell migration or to test therapeutic intervention or RNA interference of selected genes.
