Abstract

Small molecule inhibitors of the ATM pathway could represent a promising opportunity for cancer therapy, working either by enhancing the clinical efficacy of radiotherapy and existing chemotherapies or by synthetic lethality-based mechanisms. In this chapter, we describe a high-throughput, high-content imaging assay monitoring levels of ATM phosphorylation at Serine 1981 following induction of DNA damage by ionizing radiation.
