Matthieu Foll was invited speaker in the 25th European Congress of Endocrinology (ECE 2023) in Istanbul, Turkey from 13-16 May 2023. This was a good opportunity to present the lungNENomics project and to discuss with other endocrine-related cancer experts.

Lynnette Fernandez-Cuesta and Matthieu Foll will be presenting at the upcoming EMBL Cancer Genomics Conference taking place in Heidelberg in November

As every year, a unique opportunity to learn about the advances made in the field of neuroendocrine tumors. Both Matthieu Foll and Lynnette Fernandez-Cuesta presented during the 1st ENETS Basic and Translational NET research forum together with other collaborators of the Rare Cancers Genomics initiative such as Talya Dayton and Justo Castano. Time also to

Lynnette Fernandez-Cuesta was invited discussant in the first ESMO meeting including Rare Cancers. Great initiative for ESMO and a unique opportunity for networking in the field of Rare Cancers.

We are very happy to see a new paper of the MESOMICS project published in Nature Genetics together with a Research Briefing explaining the importance of the findings. This has been a major team effort that we hope will soon translate in a better clinical management of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. See twittorial here

Laurane Mangé is a Master student in Bioinformatics and Modelling from the National Institute of Applied Sciences of Lyon (INSA Lyon). She will be working for 6 months with Nicolas Alcala on the genomic evolution of tumor phenotypes and on single-cell transcriptomics of malignant pleural mesothelioma.  Maike Morrison is a PhD student in Biology from

In a new video to mark Rare Disease Day, Matthieu Foll, Alexandra Sexton Ouates and Emilie Mathian from the RCG team at IARC present one aspect of the lungNENomics project, which aims to improve the diagnosis and clinical management of lung neuroendocrine tumours using a combination of AI and genomic techniques.

And the IARC-RCG team is very happy to have contributed to it with Lynnette Fernandez-Cuesta co-leading together with Sandra Ortiz-Cuaran one of the Work Packages in the Integrated Research Program entitled “characterization and treatment of tumor and immune cell plasticity in the clinic”

Scientists from the RCG team are among the recipients of research grants awarded by the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation (NETRF), announced on 16 February.  Matthieu Foll, Lynnette Fernandez-Cuesta, and their co-investigators in the “Reconciling lung carcinoids histopathological and molecular classifications” project were chosen to receive the funding through a competitive and rigorous peer-review process. This

Emilie Mathian had an amazing time at the 18th edition of the International Conference on Theory and Applications of Computer Vision in Lisbon, Portugal (Visapp 2023). The conference was an opportunity to learn about theoretical and applicative advances in computer vision and robotics from the best researchers in the field. Emilie presented her paper entitled
