The CITI department (Cancer Initiation and Tumor cell Identity), under the direction of Dr Jean-Jacques Diaz and Dr Véronique Maguer-Satta, gathers the complementary expertise of research teams to explore the earliest transformation signals to favor early detection and prevent tumor progression. The CITI department teams decipher how tumors dynamic and microenvironment heterogeneity impact the fitness of the tumor, key issues to improve treatments efficiency. More information
