Mediating BRAF-mutant melanoma resistance

Drug Target Review

Rather than solely identifying tumour-associated mutations which can be specifically targeted for effective treatment, we now need to consider how non-mutational events play into both the development of the primary tumour and the development of therapy resistance.

Battling antibiotic resistance in the lab and the clinic

Broad Institute

In others, an infection can cause the immune system to spin out of control, leading to sepsis — organ dysfunction that lacks effective treatments and is often fatal. Bhattacharyya’s work in Sosnick’s lab solidified his interests in biology and biochemistry, but he also had a growing desire to practice medicine.
