NEW EQUIPMENT JUST DROPPED! Thanks to @southrock.bsky.social, we will upgrade the HiTS drug screening platform of @crcm.bsky.social with several devices. Today, we installed a ViaFlo (INTEGRA), which will offer flexibility for our drug screening on 3D models, especially patient-derived tumoroids.

Yesterday, we held one of our regular steering committee meetings with all the clinicians and researchers in charge of our scientific program. The occasion to reflect on our first year of existence and prioritize our actions for year 2. Watch this space in 2025!

The Marseille research community stood up for Science today. Members of SouthROCK joined in to protest against the ongoing dismantlement of academic research and harassment of scientists in the US and around the world.

I hope there will be hundreds of marches around the world to stand up for science tomorrow. Let’s show these monsters, we won’t let them destroy Science. Killing research is killing hope.

Today, all 3 centers of excellence in pediatric oncology research were invited by INCa to present what they have been up to during their first year of existence. We were delighted to showcase everything we have put in place, including our beloved #RockBands, ongoing and upcoming projects.

Last but not least, the 9th #RockBand is everything cancer metabolism. From defining metabolic vulnerabilities in pediatric cancers, the impact of metabolic inhibitors on developmental pathways and the slightly reverse impact of developmental alterations on cell metabolism. 1/2

SouthROCK @southrock.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

How do you break the century-old frontier between medical #Hematology and #Oncology? In our Centre of Excellence we will try to break barriers and build true transdisciplinary projects to improve the care and prevention in pediatric oncology. For that, we created the #RockBand « Crossroads ». 1/2

SouthROCK @southrock.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Time to introduce our 5th #RockBand. An hommage to the legendary Doors, this 20-piece band will focus on critical Windows of susceptibility during pregnancy and early childhood, pre-disposition factors, the notion of clusters, the prediction of long-term sequelae & prevention 1/2

Our center of excellence in pediatric oncology research gathers close to 250 clinicians, scientists and students working together to improve the care and prevention of #ChildhoodCancers. To structure ourselves, we have opted for the creation of 9 #RockBands with specific missions. #Medsky

SouthROCK is all about collaborations. Collaborations between Lyon and Marseille, between clinicians and biologists, between disciplines… This is why we mostly had presentations from duos of scientists (and even trios and quatuors!) over the past two days. It was lots of fun and inspiring

SouthROCK @southrock.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

Start of Day 2 of our annual seminar. Xavier Morelli and Carine Halfon-Domenech kick off the “Emerging projects” session with their collaboration on the evaluation of DCK inhibitors in pediatric acute lymphoblastic #leukemia. One of the 5 projects funded in our first round of research grants

SouthROCK @southrock.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

For the next 2 days, the clinicians and scientists of #SouthROCK are all gathered in Marseille at the “Palais du Pharo” for our first annual seminar. We will discuss ongoing and upcoming collaborative projects that form the basis of our center of Excellence. Transdisciplinarity is key

SouthROCK @southrock.bsky.social · 16/01/2024

This is it! We are officially and effectively launched !!! All the key pediatric oncologists, researchers and patient families gathered in Lyon for the official kick-off meeting of SouthROCK. So many great research projects will emerge in the coming months. We can’t wait to get cracking !!

Very excited to see our Research Center of Excellence in Pediatric Oncology being selected among the 3 Centers that will be created in France in 2024. We will focus on the developmental alterations of pediatric cancers in order to improve the care and prevention of childhood cancers.
