Biography

 In eucaryotic cells, DNA, the support of genetic information is wrapped in a complex nucleo-proteic structure called chromatin which dynamics plays an essential role in the interpretation of genetic information. This structure is regulated by several chromatin remodeling and modifying complexes and constitutes a second level of information so-called epigenetic information. From the last few years it has become clear that many cancers originate in incorrect establishment and/or mis-interpretation of this epigenetic information opening possibilities for new therapeutic strategies.
