CRCT research

 

On a daily basis, we are working to find the solutions of tomorrow!

18 teams of researchers are advancing knowledge on the mechanisms of cancer onset and progression, and contributing to improving screening, care and management of patients in order to better support them on their way to recovery.

The 4 axis Of
Specific research

Oncogenic pathways in cancer: From modelization towards targeted therapy

The objective is to federate researchers, clinicians, engineers, technicians and students of the CRCT in order to share a multidisciplinary expertise with the common goal of understanding and targeting autonomous and non-autonomous mechanisms of cancer oncogenic pathways.
+

RNA & CANCER

CRCT researchers are exploring the mechanisms of deregulation of RNAs, key players in the control of gene expression, and their role in altering the cellular landscape that can lead to cancer initiation, progression, invasion and metastasis.

+

Tumour microenvironment and metabolism

The objective of this axis is to understand and identify targets in both tumour cells and stroma, the co-targeting of which could sensitiee tumours to therapies and/or abrogate their metastatic potential.

+

Onco-immunology

The aim of this axis is to promote collaboration between teams interested in studying the cancer/immune system confrontation through different but complementary approaches.

+

INTEGRATED RESEARCH PROGRAMMES

IRIT@CRCT

Digital cancer laboratory “Michel Laudet”

+
NeoVirTech

Creation of a patient-oriented theranostics platform to support drug development.

+

TRANSLATIONAL PROJECTS
AND EUROPEAN PROGRAMMES

TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH PROJECTS @IUCT-O

Each year, the Toulouse-Oncopole University Cancer Institute and the Toulouse Cancer Health Foundation open an internal call for proposals to finance translational research projects led by a researcher/clinician pair.
The projects are evaluated by an external jury made up of experts in the themes submitted.

Find below all the winning projects since 2017.

MELANICa

To evaluate the potential benefit of anti-TNF on the anti-cancer immune response in melanoma patients.

The TOUCAN LABEX

The Toulouse Cancer Laboratory of Excellence (LabEx TOUCAN) is a project that aims to understand the mechanisms of resistance and relapse in hematological cancers.

Funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) under the Programme d’Investissements d’Avenir (PIA), it brings together six Toulouse research teams from the Toulouse Cancer Research Centre (CRCT) and the Institute of Pharmacology and Structural Biology (IPBS).
