Summary
Project Summary/Abstract The ultimate goal of this mPI proposal is to address a fundamental gap in knowledge on the role of acetyl-CoA metabolic reprogramming in regulating cyclin E-high ovarian cancer DNA damage response, transformation, and response to therapy. The results from these studies could have a significant impact on the treatment of the ~20% of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients with high cyclin E expression, which are resistant to emerging PARP inhibitor therapies due to proficiency in homologous recombination (HR)-mediated DNA repair. This research plan focuses on
