Grant Activity:
Targeting Polo-like kinase 1 as a novel therapeutic opportunity for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas
Purpose:

DIPG is the most aggressive cancer to affect children, with no known curative therapies. The Investigators have found that a new class of drugs called PLK1 inhibitors are highly potent against the first DIPG cells ever grown in the laboratory. The Investigators aim to use this discovery to develop the optimal combination therapy, in order to be able to rapidly translate these findings to the clinic, to directly benefit children with DIPG.
