Brief description Infinite growth of cancer cells is a hallmark of cancer. Telomerase is required for cancer cell immortality. Inhibition of telomerase may thus offer an opportunity to stop cancer cells. We have identified an inhibitor of telomerase. This project will study the mechanisms of action of the novel inhibitor, investigating how to control cancer cell immortality as a baseline for more applied anti-cancer therapeutic studies.
