The 4 axis Of
Specific research
Oncogenic pathways in cancer: From modelization towards targeted therapy
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.
MMIL
To better understand the mechanisms of recognition and eradication of cancer cells by the immune system.
CIEL
Immune escape and innate immunity in lymphoma
LMSTAR
ONCOPOLE
Functional analysis of the inherited N363K POLE mutation in highly aggressive colon cancers and glioblastomas
LUNG-RESIST
Targeting the early stages of adaptive resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors in lung cancer.
EPOXAN
Characterisation of deregulations of the cholesterol-epoxide pathway in breast cancer
CLUSTER
Clustering of malignant cells in serous fluid: a mechanism of tumour progression?
GAMER
Comm’in BC
Cellular communication in breast cancer
DEMETEAR

OTHER RESEARCH PROGRAMMES
Researchers are encouraged and guided in their participation in the various calls for proposals from biomedical research funders (INCA, ANR, patient associations, etc.)
The CRCT researchers are fully involved in these calls for proposals. Find below all the programmes in which the CRCT is strongly involved.
INTERPEDIA
Deciphering patient’s hematologic phenotype with GATA2 mutation with new meaningful models to better understand the risk of leukemia and time to bone marrow transplantation
CIRoma

BLOOD-REPARP
Circulating biomarkers of resistance to PARP inhibitors in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.
MSrGB
Metabolic Shift in radioresistance of GlioBlastoma
Biolican
To develop new technological approaches for the detection of new circulating biomarkers for the management of lung cancer
EUROPEAN PROGRAMMES
Biomedical research is strongly embedded in the European context. Researchers are encouraged and guided in their participation in the various Horizon 2020 programmes, the main instrument for implementing European research.
The CRCT researchers are fully involved in these calls for projects. Find below all the European programmes in which the CRCT is strongly involved.

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).
