Nelson Dusetti, INSERM Research Director at CRCM and Institut Paoli-Calmettes, shared on LinkedIn:
“November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.
A particularly meaningful time to bring the international pancreatic cancer research community together in Marseille.
On November 26, we are delighted to welcome Prof. Claus Jørgensen, from the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, for a seminar organized by our Translate-IT Department at the CRCM – Marseille Cancer Research Center.
՛Deciphering how a perturbed microenvironment regulates tumour cell function and therapy response․՛
Understanding how cancer cells interact with their microenvironment is one of the major challenges in pancreatic cancer research. These interactions influence tumour progression, metastatic dissemination and resistance to treatment.
Claus and his team have made important contributions to this field.
His work is particularly relevant to our own research, where we are developing patient-derived co-culture models to better understand how interactions between cancer cells and stromal cells affect therapeutic response.
I look forward to the scientific discussions and opportunities for collaboration.
This seminar also reflects a broader ambition for Marseille.
Through the close collaboration between the CRCM and Institut Paoli-Calmettes, and with the development of the FightCancer initiative, we are strengthening an integrated research environment dedicated to pancreatic cancer, bringing together fundamental scientists, translational researchers and clinicians.
International seminars, workshops and scientific exchanges are an essential part of this effort.
They create opportunities to share ideas, develop collaborations and bring research closer to the questions that matter for patients.
We are proud to contribute to this momentum through our Translate-IT Department and to welcome outstanding international colleagues to Marseille.

CRCM Library, Marseille and online via Zoom
Looking forward to welcoming Claus and to some stimulating discussions!”
