Development & Cancer

10th edition

The course is dedicated to the most current knowledge linking developmental biology with the cellular and molecular study of cancers. Neural crest and melanomas, from their initiation to their migration (metastasis) as well as medulloblastomas are taken as examples. The course benefits from a multidisciplinary approach at multiple scales (embryology on various models, cell biology, transcriptomics, imaging ...). It ends with presentations of therapeutic approaches.

The course is punctuated by round tables on careers in academia, on publication of scientific articles as well as on ethics in animal experimentation. On the occasion of this tenth session, alumni of the M2 GCD of Paris-Saclay will come to present their career. Posters sessions for doctoral students are also organized and prizes for the best posters will be awarded.
