Myeloma Biology and Therapeutics Group

Dr Charlotte Pawlyn's team Myeloma Biology and Therapeutics focuses on identifying and validating therapeutic targets for the treatment of immunomodulatory drug resistant and high-risk multiple myeloma. Myeloma is a bone marrow cancer and the second most common haematological malignancy. Immunomodulatory drugs are the “prototype” of targeted protein degradation approaches. Outcomes for patients have improved over the last few decades following the introduction of proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents. However, patients almost all inevitably relapse and understanding the mechanisms of resistance to these commonly used agents is key to improving outcomes.

The team sits within the Division of Cancer Therapeutics which has an unrivalled track record at discovering novel cancer treatments and biomarkers. Their work has made The Institute of Cancer Research the world’s most successful academic centre at discovering new cancer drugs. We also work closely with the Centre of Protein Degradation
