Covered in this Webinar
How functional genomic screening using CRISPR can be used to identify new strategies for treatment of cancers
Identification of genes required for Androgen receptor driven prostate cancer
Determinants of response to new drugs and combination therapies
Strategies for targeting loss-of-function driver mutations such as TP53-mutant acute myeloid leukaemia

Genomics and functional genomic approaches are needed to identify new strategies for the treatment of aggressive cancers. We use synthetic biology to build new innovative tools for editing the epigenome and driving innovation in functional genomics. Our efforts are focused on utilizing our CRISPR expertise to tackle big problems such as drug resistance in prostate cancer, leukemia, and lung cancer. We use genome-scale screens and genetic interaction mapping to identify the genetic and epigenetic causes underlying why some patients are cured and others are not by cancer therapy.
