Biography

Philippe P. Roux is a full professor at the University of Montreal in the Faculty of Medicine, where he conducts research on cell signaling mechanisms critical for cells to integrate external signals and generate appropriate responses. His research focuses on decoding signaling networks within cancer cells to aid in developing new anticancer treatments. The laboratory investigates the deregulation of cell signaling mechanisms, often by mutations in signaling proteins, leading to various pathologies, including cancer. Notably, his work addresses how mutations activate proto-oncogenes such as KRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA, or inactivate tumor suppressor genes like PTEN, APC, and TP53. Roux aims to understand these pathways better to facilitate innovative cancer therapies.
