The ULiège Laboratory of Medical Chemistry team, directed by Prof. Alain Chariot, is essentially dedicated to biomedical research. The laboratory has developed expertise in the dissection of molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying tumour development, primarily in the intestine. Its researchers are also interested in the molecular mechanisms through which patients develop resistance to anti-cancer treatments. Finally, they are also generating ex-vivo ‘mini-guts’ which they use as experimental models to better understand how intestinal epithelial cells differentiate from stem cells. 🧪 👨‍🔬
