Liquid biopsies 

The Prospective Biology sector (led by Dr. Sarah Figarol of the Medical Oncology Laboratory) is developing a clinical (including medico-economic) and translational (Nanostring platform) research program on liquid biopsies for cancer. In addition, projects conducted with the CRCT's SIGNATHER team aim to develop new circulating biological markers for diagnosis, prognosis, longitudinal monitoring of the disease, and prediction of therapeutic response: circulating nucleic acids (RNA then DNA), circulating tumor cells, and, more recently, circulating immune cells.

 

Translational research projects @IUCT-Oncopole

Every year, IUCT-Oncopole launches a call for proposals to fund translational research projects, thanks to donations received, targeted at research. In 2018, the Toulouse Cancer Health Foundation joined in funding the selected projects. The aim of this call is to encourage innovative and transdisciplinary projects involving at least one clinical team from IUCT-Oncopole and one research team from CRCT. The projects are evaluated by an external Scientific Council.

The results of the 2022 call for projects will be announced shortly.
