  • Discovery of a Potent and Selective BCL-XL Inhibitor with in Vivo Activity (154 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid
  • Cancer

Sarah G. Hymowitz focuses on Cancer research, Platelet, KRAS, Kinase activity and Point mutation. Her studies deal with areas such as Leukemia and Antitumor activity as well as Platelet. Her Leukemia research includes elements of Cancer, Navitoclax, In vivo and Pharmacology.

Her Navitoclax study introduces a deeper knowledge of Apoptosis. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Signal transduction, MAPK/ERK pathway, Phosphorylation and Protein kinase domain. Her Kinase activity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Proto-Oncogene Proteins B-raf and Conserved sequence.
