Scientists have found a type of genetic mutation that makes cancer cells sensitive to ATR inhibitors. This finding could optimise treatment decisions in ovarian clear cell carcinoma, improving outcomes for people with this hard-to-treat disease. Read ⬇️ icr.ac.uk/about-us/icr-n…

ICR's Professor Chris Bakal and his team have developed an #AI tool that can show how cancer cells respond to new drugs, by observing changes to their 3D shape. He spoke to @LBCNews about how this will slash years off the drug development process ⤵️ icr.ac.uk/about-us/icr-n…
