The role of Rab GTPases in the pathogenesis of childhood brain cancers

Brain tumours are among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in children. While surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have increased survival rates these tumours still cause many deaths among patients. Read more

Novel targeted chemotherapeutics for brain tumours

  Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive adult primary brain tumours. Standard treatment for GBM includes surgery followed by radiotherapy and temozolomide chemotherapy but the survival rates are very poor (only around 25% survive the first year and less than 5% have a five-year survival rate).

Investigating the role of electrophysiological chemosensitivity in oncogenesis

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), a transcription factor that mounts gene expression changes to low oxygen, is commonly activated in cancer and its role in oncogenesis has attracted widespread interest. Read more

Developing and characterising novel targeted nanocomposites serving as adjuvants to existing standard-of-care cancer treatments

One in two cancer patients will receive radiotherapy as part of their standard-of-care treatment. For patients with a localised cancer diagnosis effective radiotherapy represents the best chance for a curative outcome but is not without risk. Read more
