Striving for a cancer-free future

Regulation of signalling pathways & protein trafficking by Lgl/aPKC

Lead researcher

A/Prof Helena Richardson, Dr Alexey Veraksa

Institution
The University of Melbourne

Years funded
2013-2015

This project investigates how mutation of cell shape regulators affects protein localisation and deregulates signalling pathways. Since these cell shape regulators and the signalling pathways they control are perturbed in many cancers, this work may lead to the identification of new biomarkers and therapeutics to combat cancer.
