Exploiting the CRL4-CRBM E3 ubiquitin ligase complex for the development of iTAG: a versatile targeted protein degradation system to enable functional evaluation and target validation
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-02-28)Modulating target protein expression to probe for its relevance and function in a disease is critical in the drug discovery process of target validation. Current genetic methods and chemico-biology tools are widely employed ... -
Exploiting vulnerabilities in cancer signalling networks to combat targeted therapy resistance.
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2018-10-26)Drug resistance remains one of the greatest challenges facing precision oncology today. Despite the vast array of resistance mechanisms that cancer cells employ to subvert the effects of targeted therapy, a deep understanding ... -
An exploration of mechanisms and effects of oncogenic KRAS on the tumour immune microenvironment
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-07-06)Oncogenic KRAS influences several cancer hallmarks including autonomy from growth promoting signals, enhanced cell survival and altered tumour metabolism. Beyond these, it is now established that oncogenic KRAS can polarise ... -
Exploration of the treatment challenges in men with intellectual difficulties and testicular cancer as seen in Down syndrome: single centre experience.
(BMC, 2015-06-26)Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder in humans as well as the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability. A spectrum of physical and functional disability is associated with the syndrome as ... -
Exploration of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes as a predictive biomarker for adjuvant endocrine therapy in early breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2018-08-01)PURPOSE: Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been shown to be prognostic for disease-free survival and predictive for the benefit of chemotherapy in patients with early breast cancer, but have not been studied for ... -
Exploratory Analysis of Single-Gene Predictive Biomarkers in HERA DASL Cohort Reveals That C8A mRNA Expression Is Prognostic of Outcome and Predictive of Benefit of Trastuzumab.
(2018-01)Purpose The Herceptin Adjuvant study is an international multicenter randomized trial that compared 1 or 2 years of trastuzumab given every 3 weeks with observation in women with human epidermal growth factor 2-positive ... -
Exploring an oncolytic virus triggered PD-L1 response via immunoPET
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-01-23)Oncolytic virotherapy (OV) exploits viruses which preferentially infect and kill cancerous cells. Moreover, oncolytic viruses stimulate the tumour-immune microenvironment towards an inflammatory phenotype. Therefore, OV ... -
Exploring causality in the association between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and colorectal cancer risk: a large Mendelian randomisation study.
(BMC, 2018-08-14)BACKGROUND: Whilst observational studies establish that lower plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels are associated with higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), establishing causality has proven challenging. Since ... -
Exploring mechanisms of response and resistance to immuno-oncology approaches in melanoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-05-21)Background Immuno-oncology strategies have transformed the prognosis of advanced melanoma; in particular, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) provide durable response in a subset of patients, while tebentafusp (tebe) is ... -
Exploring novel approaches to metastatic heterogeneity and clonal evolution
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-12-31)Background Alternative methods are required to optimise the clinical insights that may be derived from studies of cancer evolution and heterogeneity. Profiling a single biopsy of tumour tissue underestimates potential ... -
Exploring the barriers to, and importance of, participant diversity in early-phase clinical trials: an interview-based qualitative study of professionals and patient and public representatives.
(BMJ, 2024-03-19)OBJECTIVES: To explore the importance of, and barriers to achieving, diversity in early-phase clinical trials. DESIGN: Qualitative interviews analysed using thematic analysis. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Five professionals ... -

(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2023-06-01)BACKGROUND: Human gut microbiome has complex relationships with the host, contributing to metabolism, immunity, and carcinogenesis. METHODS: Summary-level data for gut microbiota and metabolites were obtained from MiBioGen, ... -
Exploring the immune microenvironment in small bowel adenocarcinoma using digital image analysis.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2023-08-01)BACKGROUND: Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare malignancy of the small intestine associated with late stage diagnosis and poor survival outcome. High expression of immune cells and immune checkpoint biomarkers ... -
Exploring the Impact of Treatment Switching on Overall Survival from the PROfound Study in Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR)-Mutated Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC).
(SPRINGER, 2021-09-03)BACKGROUND: In oncology trials, treatment switching from the comparator to the experimental regimen is often allowed but may lead to underestimating overall survival (OS) of an experimental therapy. OBJECTIVE: This study ... -
