ConverGene is pleased to announce that it has entered into a collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”) to characterize ConverGene’s first-in-class dual inhibitor of BET bromodomains and dopamine receptor 2, in ovarian carcinoma. Work will be done under the guidance of Dr. Sherry Wu in the laboratory of Dr. Anil Sood. The program will advance in 2 distinct phases. First the unique mechanism of action of the ConverGene lead compound will be assessed in vitro then clinically relevant activity will be determined utilizing in vivo model systems developed in the Sood lab.
