DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jean-Christophe Marine\, Professor\, Senior VIB group le
 ader and Director of the VIB center for Cancer Biology\, Ghent\, Belgium\n
 A Lola and John Grace Distinguished Lecture in Cancer Research\n\nJean-Chr
 istophe Marine obtained his PhD from the University of Liège\, (Belgium\,
  1996)\, and was a Howard Hugues Medical Institute Fellow at the St Jude C
 hildren's Research Hospital (Memphis\, USA\, 1996-99). He was a Marie Curi
 e Fellow at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO\, Milan\, Italy\, 2000
 -2003).\n\nHe became a junior VIB Group leader in 2004 at the University o
 f Ghent (Belgium) and moved his laboratory to the University of Leuven (KU
 Leuven) in 2010 where he is now Professor\, senior VIB group leader and Di
 rector of the VIB center for Cancer Biology. He received several national 
 and international prizes for his work on p53 modifiers and melanoma biolog
 y and was elected EMBO member in 2020. His interests focus on the mechanis
 ms by which cancer-specific non-mutational (i.e. epigenetic and (post-) tr
 anscriptional) events modulate tumor initiation\, progression and therapy 
 outcome. His laboratory uses mainly melanoma as a disease paradigm and aim
 s at developing in vivo genetic tools and applying cutting-edge technologi
 es to dissect the mechanisms underlying melanoma initiation\, growth\, met
 astatic dissemination\, emergence of inter-and intra-tumor heterogeneity\,
  plasticity and therapy resistance.\n
