If bacteria aren’t the whole story of the tumor microenvironment, what crucial signals are being missed from fungi that quietly occupy the same space yet account for only a sliver of the sequencing reads but a disproportionate share of immune cues and clinical outcomes? That challenge has gained
Julia Lainster sits down with Ivan Kairatov, a seasoned biopharma leader with deep experience in oncology R&D, to unpack the latest data from OptiTROP-Lung05 and what it could mean for first-line NSCLC. They explore how a TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate combined with an immune checkpoint
Ivan Kairatov is a biopharma expert with a track record bridging preclinical discovery and translational development across oncology subtypes. He has worked at the interface of receptor biology, pharmacology, and clinical trial design, and he brings a pragmatic lens to drug repurposing. In this
Could a single seed pull double duty against inflammation, oxidative stress, microbes, and metabolic drift without the side-effect ledger that shadows many prescriptions, and could it do so in a way that complements rather than competes with standard care? That is the provocation driving a surge of
Imagine a silent epidemic affecting thousands of men each year, often undetected until it’s too late, with societal norms discouraging open conversations about personal health challenges, and prostate cancer standing as the most common cancer among men in the UK, with around 55,000 new cases
In a remarkable advancement that could alter the landscape of cancer care, researchers from University College London (UCL) and the University of Oxford have developed LungVax, the world’s first experimental vaccine aimed at preventing lung cancer. This pioneering initiative, now entering clinical
