This project focuses on the most important anti-cancer molecule in the body. The function of this anti-cancer molecule is compromised in almost all cases of cancer.
In this project we will explore a new pathway to activate p53 to kill cancer cells. This may lead to a novel approach to anti-cancer treatment using resources from our own body.
