Thank you for featuring our collaborative work.
A new study from @DanaFarber reports the first potent and selective compound to target IRF4 and validates degradation of IRF4 as a potential approach to the treatment of #MultipleMyeloma. 🔎 See the abstract from Drs. @JunQiLab and @IrenemGhobrial: go.nature.com/4wq8rY0

We also like to thank @AlexsLemonade @StBaldricks @EpendymomaRF @sontagfdn @IronMattLarson @curingcancer @sontagfdn @TheVFoundation and more... for their support and helping us build the drug discovery capability for pediatric brain tumor.
Thrilled to share our collaborative work with @FilbinMariella, now online in Neuro-Oncology! We identify HDAC2 as a tractable target for H3K27M DMG growth in vitro and in vivo. Congrats to @JunQiLab and @FilbinMariella — excited for more to come together! academic.oup.com/neuro-oncol…

With better understanding of proteosome machinery, hopefully, we can come up more and more cool idea to utilize the system for novel therapy development.
New research in @angew_chem by @DanaFarber’s @JunQiLab reveals a novel chemical biology approach to achieving selective targeted protein degradation using proteosome cap region proteins directly in addition to the current PROTAC strategy, which could aid in developing therapies and cancer drugs. ➡️ bit.ly/4rbilu9

This is absolutely fun!!! @LabSethi cannot wait to do more together. To create more and better understanding in cancers and find potential novel therapy together. @AGA_Gastro

Can we have a biotinylated and inactive version of the HDAC1/2 inhibitor? How do you do Chem-seq, Jun? In the end, we were able to follow our observations and publish these findings thanks to collaborative science fostered by @DanaFarber @DanaFarberNews

It is so exciting to see the final version of our collaborative work with @LabSethi. We found that blocking HDAC1/2 pushes CRC cells out of a stem-like state and into differentiation. We will work tother more to find novel therapeutic options for CRC. authors.elsevier.com/c/1m7oK…

It is so exciting to see our collaborative work with @Nilay_Sethi is now available online. My team and I are always eager to learn more about novel therapy development for CRC together with Nilay and his wonderful team!!!
Proof-of-concept: Epigenetic reprogramming could one day be a new therapeutic path in colorectal cancer. @Nilay_Sethi explains how histone acetylation shapes CRC cell fate in this @AGA_Gastro study: bit.ly/46gS7z1
