Jean-Baptiste Alberge is a junior group leader at Gustave Roussy, where he leads the “Integrated Genomics in Pediatric Oncology” resaerch group. He joined the institute in late 2025 as the recipient of a “Chair in Pediatric Oncology Research” from Inserm and INCa.
He received his PhD in Cancer Biology in Nantes Université in 2021, after training as an engineer at Centrale Nantes. He then moved to Boston, MA for 4.5 years of postdoctoral training in Dr Irene Ghobrial’s lab at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and in Dr Gad Getz’s lab at the Broad Institute, becoming an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. There, he investigated the genomic evolution of an adult cancer, multiple myeloma, from its early asymptomatic precursor stages. He then shifted his focus to cancers with a developmental component that still lack effective therapeutic targets. At Gustave Roussy, he is building a research group focused on the evolution of the tumor genome— from early mutations to cancer initiation and relapse— with strong support from Inserm U1360, Fondation Gustave Roussy, and the Paris Kids Cancer consortium.
