About Us
Dr. Shilpee Dutt, Ph.D.
Principal Investigator
Scientific Officer 'F'

Post Doc: Harvard Medical School, USA
Long term goal of our laboratory is to understand the molecular mechanisms of resistance, the most germane and fundamental issue in the cancer therapeutics with a particular focus on leukemia and glioblastoma.
We take the multi-pronged approach employing molecular biology, cell biology, genomics and proteomics to answer some of the basic questions pertaining to chemo and radiation resistance. Using clinically relevant patient samples and patient-derived cellular and mouse models developed in our lab, we have recently identified modulation of DNA repair pathways via epigenetic modifications, homotypic cell fusions and ubiquitin-proteasome system in residual resistant cells as major pathways employed by AML and GBM cells to escape therapy and relapse. We collaborate with the clinicians at ACTREC and TMH to translate the basic research findings into clinics.
