LIMR Cancer: Metabolic reprogramming in cancer: starving tumors of essential nutrients to promote cell death

All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more

Cancer: Inhibiting cell metabolism to enhance tumour cell death

All the cells in our bodies are programmed to die. As they get older, our cells accumulate toxic molecules that make them sick. In response, they eventually break down and die, clearing the way for new, healthy cells to grow. Read more

Decoding drug resistance mechanisms in acute myeloid leukaemia

  Research Group: The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer with survival rates below 25% at five years. Despite initial treatment success, many patients relapse due to the persistence of drug-resistant cancer cell populations. Read more

MSc by Research: The USP37 deubiquitylase: guardian of genome stability and a new target for anti-cancer therapy

The process of chromosome replication is defective in many cancer cells, which therefore have an increased dependency on pathways that allow cells to survive ‘DNA replication stress’. Read more

Why do cancers cells re-express meiotic SYCP1 protein?

The aim of meiosis is to generate gametes by recombining the chromosomes and reducing the genome from diploid to haploid. However, in mitosis haploid genome and recombination have catastrophic, oncogenic outcomes. Read more
