Mary Poupot

Chargée de Recherches Hors Classe (CRHC) at Inserm. Her areas of scientific expertise are biochemistry, pharmacology and immunology applied to anticancer therapy. Her research focuses on targeting two components of the tumour microenvironment (TME) to establish new, more effective anticancer treatments: tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) and gamma delta T lymphocytes (γδ T cells). Leads the experimental studies on cellular interactions in the TME within the team.
