Using proteomic analyses, we aim to investigate the composition of transcription factor complexes in liver cancer cells. Liver cancer ranks third among the deadliest cancers worldwide with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. We are particularly interested in the dynamic processes and changes in cancer-relevant transcription factor complexes observed under therapeutic conditions. Such changes could be relevant for developing resistance mechanisms or could serve as potential new points-of-interference for therapy.
