The grant will help to fund a 3-year project coordinated by Dr Ayt\u00e9s in collaboration with Dr Himisha Beltran at Dana Farber Cancer Institute (Boston, USA). This award is in line with and a natural follow-up of Dr Ayt\u00e9s previously funded project under the FY17 PCRP\u2010IDA from USA Department of Defense, in which researchers investigated mechanisms of prostate cancer therapy resistance.<\/p>\n<p>The new proposed study will address how dysregulation of chromatin remodelers in therapy resistant prostate cancer impinges on the tumor immune microenvironment and will provide insights into novel approaches for treating metastatic prostate tumors that are currently resistant to immunotherapy. The researchers will exploit sophisticated genetically engineered mouse prostate cancer models, advanced genomics profiling and computational biology approaches to identify and validate new mechanisms in lethal prostate cancer. They will investigate how these mechanisms can be exploited as cancer vulnerabilities and potential pharmacological targets using genome-editing tools and will test them in preclinical trials.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Project Title: Dissecting the role of cancer cell chromatin remodeling on the landscape of tumor immune microenvironment.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>PI:<\/em><\/strong><em> Dr Alvaro Ayt\u00e9s is the Group Leader of the Resistance and progression mechanisms in Prostate Cancer Lab in the Oncology Research program (OncoBELL) and the Program Against Cancer Therapeutic Resistance (ProCURE) of the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) at IDIBELL.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) is a biomedical research center created in 2004.
