Decoding the transcriptional program of vessel growth in health and disease [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Mathias Francois (Principal investigator)

Brief description Lymphatic vessels are essential to maintain fluid balance in most tissues of the human body. Further the lymphatic vasculature plays a central role during cancer and contributes to tumour metastasis. Despite this integral function in health and disease little is known about the molecular programs that coordinate gene expression to build a functional vasculature. This research project will address this gap in our knowledge and will open up new therapeutic avenues for lymphatic vascular disorders
