Anirban Maitra: Impressive resource and dataset for bile duct cancers

Anirban Maitra shared an article by Michel Botros et al. on X, adding the following:

“Impressive resource & dataset for those researching Cholangiocarcinoma & other Bile Duct cancers. Preprint from Francisca Vazquez, Gaddy Getz & Nabeel Bardeesy, Mass General Cancer Center, Broad Institute.

Generation of a biliary tract cancer cell line atlas reveals molecular subtypes and therapeutic targets.

Multiparametric profiling & functional genomics of 63 BTC cell lines (including 30 new patient derived models), identifying genomic and transcription factor dependencies. Also elucidation of distinct transcriptional subtypes of cholangiocarcinoma (ductal, bi-lineage & uncommon squamous subtypes) each with distinct molecular features.”

Dr. Anriban Maitra serves as Professor of Pathology and Translational Molecular Pathology at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center since August 2013, and directs the Sheikh Ahmed Pancreatic Cancer Research Center.

He leads an NCI-funded laboratory dedicated to pancreatic cancer research, focusing on genetics and molecular pathology in human and mouse models. His research aims to advance early detection and interception strategies to enhance patient survival rates in pancreatic cancer.
