Brief description Ovarian cancer is a major cause of cancer death in women because current treatments are inadequate. Half of aggressive ovarian cancers have abnormalities in DNA repair and respond to new PARP inhibitor therapy, yet even then the cancer often recurs. I will use a new model to study human ovarian cancers in mice. My focus will be understanding resistance to PARP inhibitors in individual ovarian cancers and designing approaches to overcome this resistance.
