Our Science
We are targeting new pathways to fight cancer at its core tumorigenic mechanisms. We combine our deep scientific foundation in molecular cancer biology, tumorigenesis, and cancer stem cell biology, with expertise in preclinical and clinical drug development to advance novel therapeutics to treat advanced cancers.

Our Targets
Our targets represent previously unexplored mechanisms of tumorigenesis.
KDM4 is an epigenetic regulator that controls gene expression, cell proliferation, stem cell maintenance, apoptosis, and metastasis.
LEFTY1 is a member of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily that promotes long-term growth and self-renewal of cancer stem cells.
