Angela Koehler: Expanding the Repertoire of Druggable Targets

As part of the TLO's Golden Speaker Series for IAP 2024, Angela Koehler presents on "Expanding the Repertoire of Druggable Targets."
Angela Koehler is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT and an intramural member of the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT. She is also an Institute Member of the Broad Institute and a Founding Member of the MIT Center for Precision Cancer Medicine. Her research group aims to discover and develop functional small-molecule probes of targets emerging from patient-based genomics, including targets deemed recalcitrant to small molecule drug discovery efforts, such as transcription factors, RNA-binding proteins or cytokines. Selected probes may be developed into imaging agents, diagnostic tools, or therapeutic leads.
