Oncogenesis and tumour progression of melanoma group

This team belongs to the UMR 1279 - Tumor cell dynamics

In our group we are studying in parrallel:

• The biology of melanocytes which are pigment producing cells responsible for skin color
• The biology of cutaneous melanoma, which derives fromm melanocytes.

Using a comprehensive approach, we strive to identify mutations responsible for melanoma transformation and genes involved in metastasis.
