Our team has been created on January 1st, 2006, initially as a monothematic research unit (UMRS 762). In 2009, it has joined the Saint-Antoine Research Centre located in this Hospital that was recently created by the INSERM and the University Pierre and Marie Curie. The topics for our research group are focused on the study of mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient human tumors that develop through a particular molecular pathway characterized by the genetic instability of numerous microsatellite repeat sequences throughout the genome (MSI tumors). Since founded, the research interest of our lab is the analysis of the genetics of MSI tumors whatever their localization. The overall aim of our activity is to investigate important pathophysiological aspects of MSI carcinogenesis. Questions and hypothesis, on the fundamental and clinical sides, related to this particular tumor type are deduced from the analysis of causes and functional consequences of the microsatellite instability process characteristics of these tumors. These last ten years, we have built and exploited a unique collection of biological tools, mouse models, sample collections, clinical databases and techniques that have been designed or adapted by ourselves and collaborators for the study of MSI cancers. Translational research topics have been developed in order to gain maximum benefit from our findings. This allowed the discovery of new risk factors, biomarkers, and diagnostic tools of clinical interest for patients suffering from MSI cancers.

MSI tumors (for MicroSatellite Instability) are a type of tumors with genomic alterations due to a defect in the DNA repair system. To better understand the origin of these cancers and the consequences of their genomic characteristics, notably the anti-tumor treatment responces, the SiRIC Curamus, the MSI and Cancer research team of the Saint-Antoine Research Center present you this MSI team research vulgarisation video.
