Bruh the cancer lab (prostate cancer out of all things) I worked in as an undergrad was studying JQ1. Couldn't believe I'd ever hear this drug name again. Really hope this can go somewhere, reversible contraceptive sounds exciting

You still in the field or did you go another way?

I'm back in cancer research for my current job again. But not in prostate... and more importantly, I'm on the computational side of things instead of experimental now

Also as to the topic... there were a few people in my undergrad lab who were actively studying JQ1 (back in 2017-18), but I've never heard much about the drug after I left. Thanks to you I finally found out why I never heard about it again (neurological side effects) so
