Montpellier Institute of Molecular Genetics (IGMM)
The IGMM conducts innovative, world-class basic research with potential applications in the fields of biomedicine and molecular and cellular medicine, particularly in the treatment of 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:
- RNA biology;
- Gene Regulation and Epigenetics;
- Tumorigenesis/Cell Cycle and Cell Death;
- Immunology/Virology/Biotherapies.
In addition to these main research areas, the IGMM is also driven by a cross-cutting, interdisciplinary approach that incorporates 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 IGMM’s research, with a growing number of hospital partnerships in and outside Montpellier and the inclusion of hospital practitioners in its teams.
