In response to their environment, some cells have the ability to adapt and even change function. This ability, known as cellular plasticity, is responsible, for example, for the migration of cancer cells. Yet little is known about the exact mechanisms behind this phenomenon. By combining approaches in chemistry, physical chemistry and biology, the Chemistry of Cell States team will be able to lift the veil on the biological and molecular mechanisms at work in cell plasticity, with the ultimate aim of developing methods for controlling and modelling it. Ultimately, this research should open up a new therapeutic avenue.
