Exosomes as mediators of metastasis [ 2014 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Andreas Moeller (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Antoine Leimgruber ,  Dr Belinda Parker

Brief description Tumours secrete factors which are contained in specific structures called exosomes, and are used to prepare other organs of the body for subsequently incoming tumour cells, thereby facilitating the often mortal spread of the cancer. This project will investigate the way exosomes alter organs before tumour cells arrive, the composition of these exosomes in lung cancer patients and if they are novel markers for diseases progression as well as therapeutic intervention.
