Synthetic Essentiality of Chromatin Remodelling Factor CHD1 in PTEN-deficient Cancer

Established the principle of “synthetic essentiality” and identified CHD1 as a synthetic-essential gene in PTEN-deficient cancers. This study identified a novel PTEN pathway in cancer and provided a framework for the discovery of ‘trackable’ targets in cancers that harbor specific tumor-suppressor deficiencies.

Oncogenic Kras drives Invasion and maintains Metastases in Colorectal Cancer

To understand the role of oncogenic KRAS in CRC, we engineered a mouse model of metastatic CRC that harbors an inducible oncogenic Kras allele (Krasmut ) and conditional null alleles of Apc and Trp53 (iKAP). The iKAP model recapitulates human tumor progression from adenoma through metastases.   Read the Abstract Download the PDF
