Investigating signalling pathways that mediate suppression of anoikis by chemokine receptors in metastatic breast cancer cells [ 2011 - 2013 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Shaun Mccoll (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Marina Kochetkova ,  Prof Peter Hoffmann

Brief description This research aims at understanding the "nuts and bolts" of the main killer in cancer patients - tumour metastasis. We will look for molecules that are specific to metastatic tumour cells that transmit signals from the cell surface to the cell "suicide" machinery and prevent metastatic cancer cell death.
