Job/Project
Description:
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is crucial angiogenesis in tumor growth, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Advances in molecular biology have identified criticalbiomolecules involved in this process, making anti-angiogenic treatments a promising cancer therapy strategy. Common treatments include monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting the VEGF pathway. However, challenges like adverse events, drug resistance, tumor recurrence, and lack of biomarkers limit their effectiveness.
Further research into angiogenesis mechanisms, drug development, and combination therapies is needed to enhance therapeutic outcomes. In recent years, a significant research focus has been combining angiogenic andimmune checkpoint inhibitors. Compared to monotherapies, this approach has shown improved clinical benefits in hepatocellular carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma patients treated with a combination of PD-1 and VEGFR-2 inhibitors.
To address the challenges of anti-angiogenic treatment and explore emerging strategies to enhance its therapeutic benefits, we are focusing on the development of novel anti-angiogenic drugs against specific biomarkers as potential clinical candidates.
To meet our objectives,we have collaborated with colleagues from Canadian, USA, and European universities, andwe are equipped with OMICS state-of-the-art technologies.
