How nucleolar stress accelerates aging in mice

Drug Target Review

Initial works from the lab concentrated on exploring the role of replicative stress in cancer and ageing, for which the group combined cell biology, mouse models and drug development projects. Among other discoveries, the group developed inhibitors of the ATR kinase and showed their potential for cancer therapy.

Teaching immune cells how to kill

SugarCone Biotech

Learnings regarding immune geography and cell:cell contact are increasingly important as we consider how best to advance cell therapies for diverse hematologic malignancies and solid tumors ( www.aletabio.com ). This was an interesting finding and one that I think remains under-appreciated by the immuno-oncology drug development field.
