[Lfm] Drosophila biotech positions in London

[Nic Tapon]

Dear LFM community,

My Personal Therapeutics (MPT) is the commercial application of a drug treatment selection strategy developed at the Centre for Personalized Cancer Therapeutics (CPCT) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai New York.  This strategy – the Personal Discovery Process (PDP) – comprises whole exome or whole genome sequencing of tumour and non-tumour tissue, unbiased identification of potential tumorigenic mutations, incorporation of the multiple mutations into (Drosophila) fruit flies to serve as patient avatars, and the conduct of massive (400K fruit flies) screening campaigns of all FDA-approved drugs to identify specific drug combinations for individual patients.  Using robotics, we evaluate more than 1,200 FDA approved drugs including non-cancer drugs, to identify drug combinations that significantly improve mortality in the avatar population. We then present the drug combinations to a tumor board that make the best treatment recommendation for the patient. PDP is the most comprehensive drug screening service for individuals with cancer.  We are training AI algorithms with our own drug screening data to build a rapid drug treatment recommendation service, TuMatch.

We will be based in Open Cell Labs London (https://opencell.webflow.io<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopencell.webflow.io%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C6930c5ba48f8423d02fc08d6b13dd19a%7C4eed7807ebad415aa7a99170947f4eae%7C0%7C0%7C636891276408393807&sdata=SamPhl1M%2FzsHk5896gJeo%2BEwm6iV%2BsslHGfqliOoWYc%3D&reserved=0>).
