Targeting key regulators of innate immunity in inflammation-associated cancer [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Brendan Jenkins (Principal investigator)

Brief description Uncontrolled regulation of the immune system promotes inflammation-associated pancreatic, stomach and lung cancers, which are among the most common cancers worldwide. The high death rate of these cancers is largely due to late detection at advanced stages, along with the ineffectiveness of current therapies. My project aims to identify key regulators of the immune system as novel molecular biomarkers (e.g. for early detection) and targets for personalised treatments in these diseases.
