Summary
Joëlle Wiels received her PhD in Genetics from Université Paris 6-Denis Diderot and then spent two years as a Post-doctoral fellow in the Division of Biochemical Oncology (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) headed by Professor Hakomori. She then moved back to France where she studied the role of glycosphingolipids in both normal and tumoral B lymphocytes. Since 1991, her main research interests include analysis of apoptotic signaling pathways and of resistance to cell death developped by B cell lymphomas. She is currently affiliated at the METSY CNRS Unit located at the Gustave Roussy Institut in Villejuif (France)

Metabolic and systemic aspects of oncogenesis for new therapeutic approaches (METSY)
The research program developped by the METSY Unit aims at the discovery and characterization of new targets for the treatment of cancers and the development of innovative therapeutic strategies (adenoviral vectors, nanoparticles, small molecules).
Three main scientific objectives are being pursued:
to better understand the metabolic plasticity of cancer cells
to characterise host-tumour interactions in head and neck carcinomas
to study the dynamics of chromatin and metabolism in cancer, particularly in Burkitt lymphoma
