Targeting small RNA technologies [ 2014 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Michael Gantier (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Bryan Williams

Brief description The exciting field of small RNA research was the subject of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Medicine, and holds great potential in the diagnosis and prognosis of disease such as cancer. Recent clinical studies suggest that drugs inhibiting small RNAs called microRNA present novel therapeutic opportunities. By defining the non-specific effects of such drugs and investigating new avenues for their delivery, this project will secure the safe application of these drugs into the clinic.
