Fred Hutchinson CTD2 researchers identified novel therapeutic targets for precision oncology using high-throughput functional phenotyping with siRNA and drug libraries in primary patient derived head and neck cancer cells.
CTD2 scientists at Fred Hutchinson showed that the triplet combination of WEE1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor AZD1775, cisplatin, and docetaxel is safe, tolerable, and effective in a phase I clinical trial of head and neck cancer.
Scientists proposed a framework to investigate the genomic alterations in neuroblastoma subtypes and identified, TEAD4, a transcription factor as a novel target for therapy.
CTD2 scientists at Emory University developed a high-throughput time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay to discover small-molecule inhibitors of receptor binding protein, NSD3 protein-protein interactions.
TARGET researchers analysed DNA changes and sequenced the genomes, exomes, and transcriptomes of 1,699 pediatric leukemia and solid tumors. They identified 142 genes associated with cancer in these pediatric patients, of which only 45% matched those found in similar studies of adult cancers.
Rapid and tunable method to temporally control gene editing based on conditional Cas9 stabilization.
CSHL CTD2 scientists developed a method that allows temporal control of CRISPR/Cas9 by conjugating a destabilizing domain to Cas9. This robust high-throughput approach can be used for gene editing and to investigate interactions between functional genes.
Review of methods with a focus on chemical-genetic screens used in the identification of the mechanisms of action of small molecules.
CTD2 scientists at UCSF (1) identified two major subtypes of KRAS mutant cancers of the lung, pancreas, and the large intestine which differentially engage effector pathways. These findings can be used to develop effective combination of therapies.
Studies demonstrated that epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-inducing transcription factor, Snail, represses tumor suppressive RNA splicing regulatory protein, ESRP1, and promotes tumorigenesis in lung cancer.
