German Researchers Find Sensitizer for Gemcitabine Using DECIPHER RNAi Libraries

June 10, 2013

Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) used Cellecta's shRNA DECIPHER libraries to identify genes that sensitize pancreatic cells to gemcitabine.Pancreatic cancer has only a 6% 5-year survival rate. Gemcitabine is the standard treatment in conjunction with surgery to remove cancerous...

Tissue Targeting May Offer an Alternative Therapeutic Approach for Difficult-to-Treat Diseases

October 14, 2011

We recently received a phase II of our SBIR grant Exploiting Synthetic Lethality of Hematopoietic Lineage Cells to Develop Novel Targets from the NIH. Rather than trying to identify potential drug targets in oncogenic hematopoietic cells, much of the effort for this project focuses on trying to develop a...
