Michaëls Herfs has been awarded this prize for his original and daring research project focused on cervical cancer.
This study by Akeila Bellahcène's team (Metastasis Research Laboratory) characterized an epigenomic signature of methylglyoxal that effectively discriminates triple-negative breast cancer patients with poor survival.
Michael Herfs' team (Laboratory of Experimental Pathology, GIGA-Cancer) demonstrates that, by hijacking host DNA damage/repair mechanisms, human papillomaviruses (HPV) actively contribute to the elevated radiosensitivity of virus-related cancers.
