Brief description Autophagy or self eating is a basic cellular process and can have either beneficial or adverse effects in cancer. It is essential to determine the status of autophagy in patients before considering drugs that block autophagy for therapy. A protein called ULK1 is needed for autophagy and may emerge as a pathological marker for autophagy in cancer as well as a potential drug target. This grant proposal will study ULK1 regulation and will lay the scientific foundation for its medical application.
