Investigating how dormant senescent cells can drive drug-resistance following chemotherapy

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Most anti-cancer chemotherapeutics work by inducing DNA damage and arresting the cell cycle in either G1 or G2 phase. A frequent outcome of this arrest is that cells exit the cell cycle into a state known as senescence. Read more

Using chemical-genetics to inhibit and characterise “undruggable” enzymes

University of Dundee School of Medicine

The ability to inhibit kinases with small molecule drugs has transformed our understanding of signalling networks. It has allowed us to define the substrates and processes that each kinase controls, and to map how these enzymes cooperate within signalling pathways. Read more
