Brief description Anti-angiogenesis is an important new approach to treat conditions such as cancer and eye disease. Our study is designed to understand the molecular pathways that lead to patients either being or developing resistance to these treatments. Using advanced cell and molecular biology techniques we will identify ways in which the blood vessels evade these therapies. Once identified these molecules will provide additional targets for developing therapeutics and diagnostics.
