Summary

 

Led by Dr. Jean-Luc PERFETTINI and Prof. Nathalie CHAPUT, the team studies the mechanisms by which tumors evade the immune system and the processes underlying resistance to immunotherapies in aggressive and refractory cancers. The team’s approach focuses on the biological and immune mechanisms underlying tumor resistance. The research aims to identify new biomarkers predictive of therapeutic response, to decipher the interactions between tumor cells and immune cells, and to discover new biological targets that will enable the development of innovative biotherapies. The team is developing integrated approaches combining cell biology, tumor immunology, cell therapy, and synthetic biology to better understand tumor plasticity and the immune system’s response to cancer, as well as the mechanisms of cellular reprogramming that lead to the regression of solid cancers and pediatric tumors. Dr. Jean-Luc PERFETTINI’s work focuses more specifically on the mechanisms of cell death, plasticity, and associated cellular reprogramming that can lead to cancer regression. Professor Nathalie CHAPUT’s research is centered on translational tumor immunology and immune biomarkers of response to or resistance against current immunotherapies. The overall goal of this team’s work is to develop new immunotherapy strategies in oncology. Finally, the team is fostering strong collaborations with academic and industrial partners, particularly as part of the MONO-CHEM project funded by the PEPR “Innovative Biotherapies” under the France 2030 program, and actively contributes to advancing translational research and fostering the emergence of startups stemming from its work, such as Signadori Bio.
