To identify new therapeutic targets that limit glioblastoma (GBM) invasion, we applied druggable-genome CRISPR screens to patient-derived GBM cells in micro-dissectible biomimetic 3D hydrogel platforms that permit separation and independent analysis of core vs. invasive fractions. We identified 12 targets whose suppression limited invasion, of which ACP1 (LMW-PTP) and Aurora Kinase B (AURKB) were validated in neurosphere assays. Proximity labeling analysis identified cortactin as an ACP1-AURKB link, as cortactin undergoes serine phosphorylation by AURKB and tyrosine dephosphorylation by ACP1. Suppression of ACP1 or AURKB in culture and
