An outstanding ERC starting grant for Pr. Cédric Blanpain

Prof. Blanpain received a starting grant from the European Research Council (ERC) for his project CANCERSTEM.  Thanks to this prestigious grant, he will try to uncover new populations of stem cells and progenitor cells in the epidermis, prostate and mammary gland, and identify the cancer cell of origin in these different tissues.
