#LoveVirology Our lab at University of North Carolina at Charlotte is interested in RNA viruses (VSV, Sendai virus, etc.) and oncolytic virotherapy for cancer
I’m excited to share that our new research article is now published in Molecular Therapy: Oncology!
In this study, we found that the FDA-approved drug fostamatinib can boost the effectiveness of oncolytic viruses against pancreatic cancer.
