Probing changes in G protein-coupled receptor signalling networks during breast cancer progression [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description The b2-adrenoceptor is a protein receptor that enables cells to respond to hormones. In breast cancer, this receptor causes more aggressive tumour cells to metastasise faster in response to stress. This proposal aims to understand why this response occurs in only very aggressive cells, and to identify how we can better target blocking drugs to this receptor. This could allow us to design better drugs with fewer side effects.
