Research
The Puissant Lab located at the Institute of Hematology at Saint-Louis Medical Center in Paris, is focused on the study of acute myeloid leukemias. As the first leading cause of blood cancer death, acute myeloid leukemias are highly refractory to all forms of treatment and novel approaches are urgently needed.
The lab is focused on understanding the complex biology of this deadly blood cancer to develop novel therapeutic approaches as well as to promote response to existing chemotherapy. Specifically, we have taken a comprehensive approach to decipher altered cellular responses of leukemic cells using large-scale screening strategies in pre-clinical models.
