Development of exosome nano-therapeutics for cancer treatment
Exosomes are naturally occurring vesicles 50-100 nm in size that facilitate effective cell-to-cell communication. In tumours, cancer and stromal cell populations secrete large number of these exosomes to promote further tumour growth. Read more
Molecular characterization of galectin-ligand interactions in cancer and beyond
Galectins are multifunctional carbohydrate-binding proteins that are expressed by many types of human cells such as epithelial and immune cells. Read more
Cancer: Understanding the immunosuppressive role of fibroblast and macrophages in Breast cancer
Oncolytic viruses (OVs) preferentially infect and kill cancer cells, and their clinical efficacy has been demonstrated against a number of different cancers. The most clinically advanced OV is a genetically engineered herpes simplex virus (T-VEC) which expresses GMCSF to aid the development of anti-tumour immune responses; T-VEC is approved for the treatment of metastatic melanoma.

Immunotherapy: Killing Cancer using Dead Virus
It is now accepted that our immune systems can hold the key to treating otherwise incurable cancers. So-called “immunotherapy” is an increasingly common method of treating tumours, leading to impressive increases in patient responses. . Read more
Cancer: Repurposing drugs as new treatments for breast cancer
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer, with over 1 million new cases diagnosed worldwide each year.
