Mechanisms of Hedgehog Signaling in Small Cell Lung Cancer [ 2013 - 2015 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof David Watkins (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Vinod Ganju ,  Dr Craig Peacock

Brief description Some types of lung are very sensitive to chemotherapy, however they frequently relapse, at which time they become resistant to this form of treatment. This project investigates how embryonic signaling pathways, that normally function to regulate organ formation in development, are activated and promote tumor regrowth following chemotherapy for lung cancer.
