Genetic studies towards improving cancer diagnosis, treatment and prevention [ 2014 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Amanda Spurdle (Principal investigator)

Brief description This study aims to identify genetic factors that influence the development of endometrial and other cancers, and to develop statistical and laboratory methods that can better determine if variation in a known cancer gene is disease-causing. The results will be used to identify and prioritise individuals at greatest risk of cancer for the most appropriate clinical management. Discovery of novel cancer genes will improve our understanding of disease development to develop future therapies.
