Excerpt

We are interested in finding novel therapeutic targets for breast cancer, particularly focusing on C-terminal binding proteins (CtBPs) as when they are inhibited, cells show an increased sensitivity to apoptotic stimuli. Using siRNA to inhibit CtBP expression, we have found that CtBPs are essential for the survival of breast cancer cells, and in particular those with a more aggressive p53-mutant phenotype. To direct our future studies into therapeutic strategies targeting CtBPs in breast cancer, we need to know more precisely how their loss results in death, and which of their functions are required for this prosurvival role. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
