IGMM is supported by









The Institute of Molecular Genetics of Montpellier (IGMM) is a multidisciplinary institute for advanced studies in biology. It has an internationally-acknowledged reputation in the fields of genetic and epigenetic regulations, RNA biology as well as cell cycle, death and metabolism. Its work also has impact in biomedical research on cancer, infectious illnesses and genetic diseases via the development of novel biotherapies and diagnostic tools as well as the launching of biotech start-up companies. IGMM is a mixed CNRS/University of Montpellier I & II research unit. It is located on the historical "Route de Mende" CNRS campus of Montpellier and shares numerous programmes and technological platforms with its neighbouring partner Institutes, CRBM and CPBS. Together, the three institutes represent a scientific potential of more than 600 people devoted to research.

Team Jean-Marie Blanchard - "A novel function for Cyclin A2: Control of cell invasion via RhoA signaling" has been published by The Journal of Cell Biology

Cyclin A2 plays a key role in cell cycle regulation both in S phase and mitosis. It is essential in embryonic cells and in the hematopoietic lineage, yet dispensable in fibroblasts and other adult tissues. In a work published in January 2012 in The Journal of Cell Biology, Nikola Arsic and collaborators demonstrate that Cyclin A2-depleted cells display a cortical distribution of actin filaments and increased migration. These defects are rescued by restoration of wild-type Cyclin A2, which (...)
