Montpellier Institute of Molecular Genetics (IGMM)
The IGMM conducts fundamental, innovative, and high-quality research that may have implications in the fields of biomedicine and molecular and cellular medicine, particularly for treating cancer and certain infectious or genetic diseases.
The IGMM has a long-standing, internationally recognized reputation in the disciplinary fields that constitute its main areas of research:
- Biology of RNAs;
- Gene Regulation and Epigenetics;
- Tumorigenesis/Cell Cycle and Death;
- Immunology/Virology/Biotherapies.
In addition to these main areas, the IGMM is also driven by a cross-disciplinary approach involving mathematical/computational modeling and machine learning to better understand the pathophysiological phenomena at the heart of its scientific interests.
Translational research is playing an increasingly important role in the IGMM's research, with a growing number of hospital partnerships in Montpellier and beyond, and the inclusion of hospital practitioners in its teams.
