About: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, with metastasis playing a significant role. Rohith’s thesis project proposes to investigate the mechanism of action underlying TEAD inhibitors (TEADi) effects in triple-negative breast cancer through direct effects on the tumor and stroma along with how they could be used as potential adjuvant therapy to current standard of care therapeutics. This research will be important to assess clinical relevance of TEADi and provide further insight into metastatic breast cancer mechanisms leading to new molecular targets for future breast cancer therapies.
