Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Andrew D Jenks"
- Andrew D Jenks focuses on cancer research, specifically investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying different types of tumors, including intravenous leiomyomatosis and lung cancer, through proteomic and genomic analyses.
- His studies highlight the significance of primary cilia in cancer biology, revealing their role in detecting stimuli and mediating resistance to kinase inhibitors, which are critical targets in cancer treatment.
- Jenks' research emphasizes the need for targeted therapies, particularly in addressing genetic alterations in lung cancer, such as FGFR family aberrations and EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, which contribute to disease progression and treatment resistance.
