Cell Cycle Therapy: Understanding The Cell Cycle Biology To Treat Cancer With Spiro Rombotis

from The Best Of BioTech IQ · host Podgo

Cell cycle biology is key to understanding cancer. You have to hit the cancer cells early before they become smart and adapt. There is a stage in the cell cycle called mitosis. This is where, if done right, can cause cancer cells to suicide. This is where the biotech company, Cyclacel comes in with all their research into the cell cycle of cancer. Join Ammon Rivera as he talks to Spiro Rombotis about some of Cyclacel's cell cycle therapies. Spiro is the CEO of Cyclacel. His mission is to use cell cycle biology to treat cancer and other serious diseases. Ammon and Spiro go over the use of Cyclin-dependent Kinase and its role in the cell cycle. Spiro also talks about Cyclacel's pipeline and drug candidates. They also go through discussion strategy, the drug approval process, and what it means to fail fast.
