Fuelling proliferation: how transporters control metabolism in development and cancer

Many cancers lose their differentiated identity and revert to a stem cell-like state. This project asks whether they do so in part by reactivating the metabolic programmes that drive growth in early development, and whether membrane transporters are important regulators of this. Read more
