Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy. In this study, I will use CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screening to identify genes involved in the resistance to the first line chemotherapeutic agents in MM using human and murine MM cell lines. I will perform CRISPR-Cas9 KO screening in the presence of inhibitors and validate the potential target genes involved in drug resistance and dissect their roles in the pathogenesis of MM.
