Thank you @RobertReya for the fantastic and considered commentary on our recent @jclinicalinvest publication on PI3K/PKC in DIPG/DMG. jci.org/articles/view/179144

Proud to see our paper targeting PI3K in DMG on the cover of JCI. Thank you to all those who assisted this work, in particular my amazing colleague @evierjackson and mentor @MattDun17.

The combination of paxalisib and the PKC inhibitor Enzastaurin synergistically extended the survival of a number of aggressive pre-clinical DIPG/DMG models. (5/11)

Proud to highlight the recent publication of our #DunLab project (@MattDun17) in @jclinicalinvest identifying PI3K as a therapeutically targetable genetic dependency in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG/DMG). Thread... (1/11) jci.org/articles/view/170329

To identify rational combination strategies to enhance PI3K inhibition we integrated RNA-seq and quantitative phosphoproteomic profiling, and identified the activation of Protein Kinase C (PKC) in DIPG/DMG cells when treated with Paxalisib. (4/11)

Clinically, resistance to PI3K inhibitors is mediated by insulin feedback caused by hyperglycemic side effects following PI3K inhibition. Paxalisib in combination with the anti-glycemic drug metformin reduced these side effects and improved efficacy in pre-clinical models. (3/11)

This Christmas, our hearts carry a bittersweet ache as we reflect on the children who should be here laughing and celebrating with their families but are no longer physically present. Our hearts are with everyone who has an empty spot at their table during this holiday season.
