Dynamics of epigenetic alterations in cancer

 

Céline Vallot and her research group are investigating epigenetic mechanisms driving tumor plasticity. These study how chemical modifications of the chromatin, structuring DNA, play a role in defining the phenotype of cancer cells. They explore the dynamics of acquisition of epigenetic features in cancer cells, to understand how these cells evolve in response to treatment, and eventually escape cancer therapy. The group combines computational approaches to microfluidic systems to profile the epigenomes of each cancer cell.
