(1/3) Excited to share our latest work using @depmap.org to uncover a new synthetic lethality in two distinct patient populations! We found that SKI complex inactivation through two independent genomic alterations creates a dependency on PELO #CancerResearch #SyntheticLethality #Genomics #DepMap

It's time to tackle rare cancers together - both a scientific opportunity and a moral imperative! I've shared a few brief thoughts in the Trends in Cancer opinions perspective on this topic - out now online www.cell.com/trends/cance...

Think zebras: challenges and opportunities for treating rare cancers
The adage goes, ‘When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras’. However, placing less emphasis on ‘zebras’ – both in the clinical and research space – can prevent many rare cancers from being ...
