Exciting new paper in @J_A_C_S from Mark Foundation Scientific Advisory Committee member and ASPIRE Awardee @DanNomura! This work could ultimately lead to new avenues for #prostatecancer treatment.
Happy to present our latest paper with @pottslab & @Amgen in @J_A_C_S by co-first authors @C_M_Zammit & Cory Nadel on the discovery of a direct-acting covalent destabilizing degrader of AR and the undruggable truncation variant of AR, AR-V7, in androgen-independent prostate
