Development of peptide-based scaffolds for intracellular cancer targets [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof David Craik (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Sonia Troeira Henriques

Brief description The overall aim of this project is to develop peptide-based drugs that are able to cross cell membranes and inhibit specific targets inside cells leading to more effective, safer and cost effective drugs for cancer. One potential outcome of the project will be new drug leads to treat melanoma and leukemia that are likely to be less toxic, more potent and less likely to develop resistance than current treatments.
