Overview

Focus Area: Mechanistic and translational research on chemotherapy resistance and immune suppression

Project Description

This pilot award provides catalytic support for mechanistic and translational research examining the role of Guanylate-Binding Protein 1 (GBP-1) in ovarian cancer progression, chemotherapy resistance, and immune suppression. Using complementary murine models and human tumor analyses, this project seeks to define how GBP-1 shapes the tumor microenvironment and to evaluate a first-in-class GBP-1 inhibitor as a potential therapeutic strategy. The award provides key experiments that will strengthen the foundation for future external funding and novel combination therapies.

Investigators

  • Dr. Sanjay Malhotra | OHSU Knight Cancer Institute
  • Dr. Thomas Duhen | Providence Portland Cancer Institute
  • Dr. Christopher Darus | Providence Portland Cancer Institute

Mission Alignment

The SHOC Foundation supports diverse portfolios of ovarian cancer research spanning early detection, novel therapeutics, survivorship, and equity. The foundation invests in innovative science, translational discovery, and supports the next generation of women investigators.
