Skin melanomas account for 10% of all skin cancers and 1.2% of cancer-related deaths. It is one of the cancers whose incidence has increased significantly over the past 40 years. However, in recent years, research has made spectacular progress thanks to the emergence of targeted therapies and immunotherapy.

Innovating for Better Care: Three Flagship Research Programs:
- Understanding the mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies by analyzing the early cellular changes responsible for resistance and developing treatments that eliminate residual cells
- Understanding and combating resistance to immunotherapies by identifying biomarkers that predict treatment efficacy
- Understanding how cellular energy metabolism influences treatment efficacy. Certain cells have an energy metabolism that makes them extremely resistant and unresponsive to all treatments.
