A highly potent bi-thiazole inhibitor of LOX rewires collagen architecture and enhances chemoresponse in triple-negative breast cancer https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451945624002733?via%3Dihub

We participated in the AACR conference with three distinct poster presentations.

Ozgur Sahin was recognized for his work and article, “Toxic PARP trapping upon cAMP-induced DNA damage reinstates the efficacy of endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors in treatment-refractory ER+ breast cancer,” published by Nature Communications Nov. 2, 2023. https://medicine.musc.edu/research/excellence-awards

We participated in the Drug Discovery and Development Retreat organized by MUSC and USC. During the event, we had the opportunity to engage with numerous presentations on translational cancer research, including Dr. Sahin’s insightful talk on “From mechanism of resistance to drug discovery: Targeting the most aggressive breast cancers.” Members Read more…

Our postdoctoral researcher, Metin, has been awarded the prestigious Hollings Postdoctoral Fellowship —a well-deserved recognition of his outstanding work.

On November 4th, the Sahin Lab embarked on a remarkable journey, cycling 10 miles to raise awareness for cancer in LOWVELO. The ride exemplified the profound impact that collective action can have in spreading awareness and advancing the cancer research and support.
