Micro-dissection of clathrins role in mitosis via chemical biology probes. This project aims to contribute to understanding the molecular mechanisms of the role of a key protein, clathrin, in cell division. In doing so it expects to reveal new approaches to stop uncontrolled cell division and proliferation, the hallmarks of cancer. The outcomes could in the long term inform breakthroughs in cancer treatment, significant enhancements in life quality and a reduction in cancer death rates.
