Collaborative Paper with University Of North Carolina

The study on “Hepatoma-intrinsic CCRK inhibition diminishes myeloid-derived suppressor cell immunosuppression and enhances immune-checkpoint blockade efficacy” supports the therapeutic potential of targeting myeloid-derived suppressor cells to empower cancer immunotherapy and provides the rationale for targeting cell cycle-related kinase in immunotherapy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (Gut. 2017 Sep 22. pii: gutjnl-2017-314032. doi: 10.1136/gutjnl-2017-314032. [Epub ahead of print]).
 
Anyone interested in future collaboration in this field of research is welcome to contact our key investigator Prof Alfred Cheng from our School of Biomedical Sciences. Prof Cheng’s research interest focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying male predominance of liver cancer and his findings have been published in major peer-reviewed journals.
