Our group investigates the tumor microenvironment with a focus on the role of immune system cells such as macrophages and T lymphocytes. Using spatial transcriptome techniques, multiparametric cytometry and ex-vivo functional assays, our aim is to establish, from a space-time perspective, the geospatial location and phenotypic and molecular characteristics of these immune cells in different solid and hematological tumors. These projects rely on close collaboration with hematologists and pathologists and a multidisciplinary group of researchers and students involved in uncovering new therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer.
