Funded Activity Summary

Tight control of the balance between cellular survival and death is important for normal development and to avoid numerous diseases. Inappropriate survival of precancerous cells can contribute to oncogenesis. Anti-cancer therapies act by inducing a cellular self-destruct program in tumour cells, and blocks in pathways controlling this process can lead to resistance to anti-cancer treatments. Defining cell death pathways will enable the development of better therapies for incurable cancers.
