How does Fra-1 regulate the invasive properties of tumour cells? [ 2008 - 2011 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Amardeep Dhillon (Principal investigator)

Brief description Most cancer deaths occur when tumours spread and destroy vital body functions. The invasion of tumour cells into surrounding tissue is a critical step during the spread of cancer. This project aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms that control the ability of tumour cells to invade into surrounding tissue and subsequently spread to other sites in the body. We expect to identify potential targets to better diagnose and treat the spread of cancer.
