The Ins and Outs of Endocytosis inhibition: Providing diverse opportunities for treatment of incurable cancers [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description The best new immune system anti-cancer drugs only work in ~30% of patients. We found a way to move the drug targets around in people's tumours temporarily to reverse resistance and have tested this in clinical trials. Here we propose to use immunology and the world's frontier electron microscope techniques to work out exactly what is happens to the tumours, immune cells and anti-cancer drugs when they interact in real clinical situations. The aim is to reach at least 60% patient response rate.
