Our new study reveals that FANCI depletion downregulates Fanconi anemia pathway in #ProstateCancer cells and converts them from a resistant state to an eradicable state under DNA-damaging chemotherapy. Joint work with @NykterLab and Prof. Steve Bova groups. @UEFcancer @UEF_Biomed

#minätutkin At @UniEastFinland, @UEF_Biomed my lab studies cancer cell plasticity, evolution and how cells escape from therapies. We also train the next generation of scientists and without funding from @SuomenAkatemia @SigridJuselius @Syopajarjestot we are not able to work.
