[Cite as https://purl.org/au-research/grants/nhmrc/1151409]Brief description Immune-based agents such as “checkpoint inhibitors” have the ability to re-awaken our own immune systems and activate previously dormant anti-tumour responses. We have discovered that small molecule inhibitors of gene regulatory proteins called bromodomain proteins act synergistically with checkpoint inhibitors in mouse cancer models. I will define the molecular and biological events underpinning this novel combination approach and assess the effects of the combination across different tumours.
