**BACKGROUND**

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) represents the most common leukemia in adults. Despite recent advances in treatments, CLL remains a deadly, incurable disease. This cancer is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal, apoptosis-resistant B lymphocytes in the blood and lymphoid organs of patients. CLL progression is highly dependent on complex interactions between tumor cells and their microenvironment. Indeed, CLL cells can modify stromal and immune cells to promote their survival and escape from the immune surveillance system.

**OBJECTIVES**

Our team focuses on the mechanisms leading to leukemia progression, particularly the influence of CLL cells on stromal cells and immune cells in their microenvironment, with the goal of identifying new prognostic markers and therapeutic targets.

**TRAINING AND RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT**

The Tumor Stroma Interactions research group is a dynamic, multinational team with current members from France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Argentina. It is part of the Department of Cancer Research, where research activities focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumor progression, using a wide range of cutting-edge technologies, including genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses, as well as in vitro and in vivo imaging modalities using state-of-the-art animal models for cancer research. The post-doctoral researcher will work on a large, FNR CORE-funded project aimed at exploring the complex interplay between CLL cells and immune cells in the microenvironment. The project will be co-supervised by Dr. E. Moussay (PI) and Dr. J. Paggetti (PI).
