Scientific summary

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. Through various collaborations, we are currently working on the vectorization of anti-HCMV therapeutic peptides into extracellular vesicles to improve their efficacy.

We hope to better understand the role of HCMV in the development and progression of brain tumors to identify new prognosis and therapeutic approaches.

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!
