Laboratory of Integrative Cancer Immunology

Jérôme Galon

We aim to understand tumor progression and immune reaction against cancer from pre-cancerous lesion to metastasis by using integrative biology and bioinformatics, to improve the immunotherapeutic management of cancer patients. Our research projects are focusing on the analysis of the pre-existing immunity and its modulation.
