卢长征博士先后在中国科学院生物物理研究所、博笛生物以及美国德克萨斯州大学西南医学中心进行研究工作,在肿瘤免疫的基础和转化医学研究上都取得了突出成绩,基础研究方面:1.解析了DNA错配修复缺失型(dMMR)肿瘤响应和抵抗PD-1抗体治疗的机制,揭示了肿瘤细胞mlh1缺失诱导胞内微核DNA的累积,通过激活cGAS-STINGg通路调控肿瘤微环境中t细胞浸润的水平,该研究挑战了肿瘤抗原决定dMMR肿瘤响应免疫治疗效果的认知,为精准免疫治疗提供了新的标志物。该工作被欧洲癌症研究学会评为年度十大癌症研究进展论文。2.发现伴侣蛋白介导的自噬通路的异常介导了癌细胞基因组的不稳定性和微核的产生,进而激活cGAS-STING通路。3.代表性论文以第一/通讯作者身份发表在Cancer Cell (2篇),Nature Communications, Medical Review等杂志。转化医学方面:作为临床前药效和机理研究负责人,与博笛生物合作研发抗肿瘤免疫药物(免疫激动剂组合疗法及其ADC药物),所研药物已申请8项美国专利,先后在欧美开展I、II期临床试验,该管线现已被默沙东前研发掌门人Roger Perlmutter团队收购。课题组获得国家优秀青年科学基金项目(海外)和国自然面上项目等基金项目的资助。
