About Malouf Team:
The Malouf Team is dedicated to deciphering the genetic and epigenetic foundations of renal cell carcinomas, focusing on functional genetics and epigenetics analyses and single-cell analysis. Our recent projects involve the genome-wide characterization of alterations affecting SWI/SNF complex, MiTF family transcription factors and several novel oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes related to various renal cell carcinoma subtypes. We are committed to identifying novel pathways associated with genome-wide epigenetic reprogramming in this context, leveraging mechanistic insights from in vitro and in vivo models and human primary tumor samples collected through national and international collaborations. The ultimate goal is to allow discoveries that can translate to improve treatments of patients with rare kidney cancers.
Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC):
The project will be conducted at the IGBMC, the largest research unit in France, comprising Inserm, CNRS, and the University of Strasbourg. Our institute focuses on functional genomics and offers advanced scientific services and technological platforms. We foster interdisciplinary research at the interface of biology, biochemistry, physics, and medicine, providing high-level education in biomedical sciences. Situated in the vibrant scientific environment of the “Parc d’Innovation d’Illkirch,” our campus encourages collaborations and technology transfer.
