The research group of Jean-Christophe Marine focuses on the analysis of pathways that underlie the genesis, progression and maintenance of cancer. The goal is to understand how the genes that are implicated in cancer control fundamental cellular processes in normal cells. At the same time, they wish to understand the mechanisms by which non-mutational (i.e. epigenetic and post-transcriptional) events interfere with these natural processes to bring about tumour development and to affect therapy outcome. Particularly interesting is the concept of aberrant RNA biology in cancer and the targeting of cancer cell-specific malignant RNAs.
