The Use of Gene-Silencing Nanodrugs to Inhibit Lung Cancer Growth [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Joshua McCarroll (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Phoebe Phillips ,  Dr John Quinn

Brief description Lung cancer accounts for the most cancer deaths worldwide. This research proposal will use state-of-the-art nanomedicines designed to penetrate lung tumours and suppress a gene which drives cancer growth and resistance to chemotherapy drugs. Our results could underpin new approaches that revolutionise more effective and less toxic treatments for a highly lethal malignancy.
