Proteomics identifies biomarkers for chemotherapy response prediction in lung cancer

  • December 18, 2023
  • Comments off

Core question: Can we identify predictive protein biomarkers for the selection of patients benefiting from  platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)? Core insight: Our study published Nov 27th in Molecular Oncology presents the discovery of predictive biomarkers that can aid in distinguishing patients with NSCLC likely to derive clinical benefit from […]

Personalized treatments – Phosphoproteomics research reveals new avenues for developing targeted therapies for patients with pancreatic cancer

  • October 3, 2023
  • Comments off

In our recent study pubished in Cell Reports, PhD student Andrea Valles shows how profile-guided phosphoproteomics can be used to select low dose combination treatment based on three kinase inhibitors. Kinase activity ranking of individual cell lines using our INKA pipeline, provided the rationale for a combination of within pathway and parallel pathway targeting with triple  […]

Published in Science Translational Medicine: Phosphoproteomics identifies hyperactive kinase targets and treatment combinations in colorectal cancer

  • September 6, 2023
  • Comments off

Can mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics help understand the (lack of) response to EGFR-blockade and identify predictive markers and new treatment options? We analyzed a unique collection of 29 molecularly characterized colorectal patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumors, annotated for cetuximab response. Proteomics identified CXADR as promising marker of treatment response, while phosphoproteomics coupled to single sample kinase activity […]
