Dr. Tsuchikama's lab is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to joint the team! The primary interest of Dr.
Tsuchikama’s lab is in developing novel ADC linker technologies by taking advantage of the power of organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology. One example is branched ADC linkers that can be equipped with multiple drug molecules. Most ADC linkers developed to date accommodate only single cytotoxic drugs.
The clinical potential of such multiloading ADC linkers had remained unexplored because of the lack of efficient and versatile methods. The Tsuchikama lab developed efficient methods for installing dual-loading ADC linkers in a simple and quantitative manner. Based on this success, they are currently advancing the multi-loading strategy to produce next-generation ADCs for combating the cancer drug resistance and heterogeneity.
These are unsolved issues in cancer chemotherapy leading to discontinuation of medication and recurrence of malignancy. They envisage that their ADC technologies will provide innovative approaches for overcoming such unsolved issues and establish a novel technology platform providing a number of valuable additions to the current list of drug candidates for the future clinical studies. What we do here changes the world.
