DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jean-Christophe Marine\, Professor\, Senior VIB group le
 ader and Director of the VIB center for Cancer Biology\, University of Leu
 ven\, Belgium\nA Lola and John Grace Distinguished Lecture in Cancer Resea
 rch\n\nJean-Christophe Marine obtained his PhD from the University of Liè
 ge\, (Belgium\, 1996)\, and was a Howard Hugues Medical Institute Fellow a
 t the St Jude Children's Research Hospital (Memphis\, USA\, 1996-99). He w
 as a Marie Curie Fellow at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO\, Milan
 \, Italy\, 2000-2003).\n\nHe became a junior VIB Group leader in 2004 at t
 he University of Ghent (Belgium) and moved his laboratory to the Universit
 y of Leuven (KULeuven) in 2010 where he is now Professor\, senior VIB grou
 p leader and Director of the VIB center for Cancer Biology. He received se
 veral national and international prizes for his work on p53 modifiers and 
 melanoma biology and was elected EMBO member in 2020. His interests focus 
 on the mechanisms by which cancer-specific non-mutational (i.e. epigenetic
  and (post-) transcriptional) events modulate tumor initiation\, progressi
 on and therapy outcome. His laboratory uses mainly melanoma as a disease p
 aradigm and aims at developing in vivo genetic tools and applying cutting-
 edge technologies to dissect the mechanisms underlying melanoma initiation
 \, growth\, metastatic dissemination\, emergence of inter-and intra-tumor 
 heterogeneity\, plasticity and therapy resistance.\n
