Brief description Mammalian cells have developed a complex signalling network responsible for monitoring and responding to changes in the levels of growth factors and the availability of nutrients, energy and oxygen in their environment. Deregulation of this network often results in uncontrolled cell growth and diseases including cardiac hypertrophy and cancer. This proposal aims to understand how this network controls cell growth and identify potential targets for diseases driven by uncontrolled growth.
