Fred Hutch study finds genetic driver of drug resistance in small cell lung cancer

A study of human tumor cells implanted in mice from the MacPherson Lab at Fred Hutch describes a new way to screen for the genes that matter in chemotherapy resistance in small cell lung cancer.

Our latest, in Science Advances: In vivo CRISPR screen revealed sgRNAs that switch chemosensitive SCLC PDXs to become resistant.We validated KEAP1 as key hit and found KEAP1 alterations in IMpower133 trial, where active NRF2 links to reduced survival in chemo arm www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/2

The MacPherson lab at Fred Hutch is hiring a postdoc to study the biology of small cell lung cancer. We employ in vivo models, genetic screens and genomic approaches to understand + therapeutically target subsets of SCLC. $78K salary ⬆️ to >$90K after 2 yrs careers-fhcrc.icims.com/jobs/28757/p...

Hello Bluesky! I’m a Professor at Fred Hutch and our lab studies the biology of small cell lung cancer. Using mouse and PDX models, cell-based and in vivo genetic screens, and genomic approaches, we seek to understand biologically distinct subsets of SCLC and their therapeutic vulnerabilities.
