On the occasion of the official presentation of funding by the ARC Foundation<\/a><\/strong> for cancer research for the \u201cCLASSE<\/strong>\u201d project led by Pierre-Louis Soubeyran<\/strong><\/a> (team 11 cancer and age<\/a>) on December 5, some thirty ARC Foundation donors came to meet scientists in our laboratories.<\/p>\n

After a presentation of the ARC Foundation by Odile de Laurens<\/strong>, Director of Resource Development, and of the Bordeaux BRIC oncology research unit by its director Frederic Saltel<\/strong><\/a>, Pierre Soubeyran presented the \u201cCLASSE\u201d project. Finally, the donors split into several groups to visit the laboratories: ImmunoConcept<\/a> with Victor Appay<\/a>, Gaelle Autaa and Vivien Caillens and BRIC (BoRdeaux Institute of onCology) with Katie Sawai<\/a> and Sarah Duchamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

By 2050, 1 in 2 cancers will occur in people over the age of 75. Despite the impact of advancing age on the onset of cancer, the biological mechanisms of aging that play a part in cancer formation and response to current treatments are still little studied. <\/p>\n\n

The ARC Foundation has launched the \u201cCancer and Aging\u201d program to improve understanding of the specific biology of cancer in the elderly, with the ultimate aim of generating new strategies for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of these cancers. Since 2022, 8 projects of excellence have been selected for a total of 11.6 million euros, including the \u201cCLASSE\u201d project, which will receive almost 3 million euros over 6 years. <\/p>\n\n
