How genetic background influences the development of mesothelioma (in asbestos exposed populations) [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Mesothelioma is an incurable asbestos induced cancer. We think that a person’s genetic makeup plays a large part in their sensitivity to asbestos and this project aims to figure out which specific genes have this property. The results will help us to identify which asbestos-exposed people and their families are most at risk of developing mesothelioma. But perhaps more importantly this work will help to identify new targets for the next generation of treatments for this cancer.
