Brief description This research will explore the effects of dietary protein on genetic damage to cells lining the large bowel and risk of developing colorectal cancer. We will determine the degree and type of DNA damage resulting from increased protein, the cellular response to this DNA damage, whether it increases risk for developing bowel cancer and whether it can be minimised by other foods in both an animal model and humans.
