Women in STEM July: Meet Michelle Arkin

Drug Target Review

For my PhD project, I chose an advisor who worked on DNA and I started working with her on the physical properties of DNA. I worked with Jackie Barton in the early days of what’s now called DNA-mediated electron transfer. It’s just a phrase for things that haven’t yet been drugged.

How nucleolar stress accelerates aging in mice

Drug Target Review

For his postdoctoral stay he joined the group of André Nussenzweig, where he started to work on DNA repair, particularly focusing on the role of histone H2AX. More recently, the group has expanded to other areas such as mechanisms of drug resistance and neurodegenerative diseases.

The general notion is that patients should be viewed individually, rather than strictly as members of some larger general population, and that their specific genetic background, environment, and lifestyle choices should be considered throughout drug development to the point of treatment and continuing patient care.

Reinventing the small molecule toolbox: from proteins to RNA

Dark Matter Blog

The bulk of my nearly three decades of experience up to that point was with drugging protein targets using a variety of modalities, but principally small molecules. It’s all well and good to say, “we should drug RNA,” but which RNA? And unproductive interactions between the RNA target and the DNA barcodes complicated DEL screening.

As such, it has been proposed that inhibiting CDK7 would provide a potent means of inhibiting cell cycle progression, which may be especially relevant given that there is compelling evidence from gene knockout studies in mice for lack of an absolute requirement for CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 for the cell cycle at least in most cell types (M alumbres et al.,

A research team searches for every gene that helps tumors evade immunotherapy

Broad Institute

By Allessandra DiCorato October 11, 2023 In 2011, Robert Manguso was working in a cell biology lab when his mother was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. They are used to treat cancers including melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer, but work only for a small fraction of patients.
