Scientific summary
Virus and Brain Cancer
Molecular biology of host-human cytomegalovirus interactions in brain tumours and therapeutic innovations
Our projects focus on the link between human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection and glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Many of these projects have a translational aspect and include the discovery of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Our lab is always looking for strong and excellent prospective Master/PhD/PostDoc candidates, so feel free to contact us if you are interested in joining the lab!
