Molecular Cancer Microbiology

Our research investigates how microbiota-associated bacteria contribute to cancer initiation, progression, and response to therapy. Our lab focuses on deciphering the interplay between oncogenic bacteria, tumor cells and the immune system. We integrate molecular biology both on the host and the bacteria with in vivo models, imaging and multiomics to explore host-bacteria interactions at molecular resolution.

This interdisciplinary approach that combines microbiology and cancer biology will lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets both in the host and in the microbiota. Ultimately, our research will pave the way for microbiota-informed strategies to enhance cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatments.
