Development of novel anti-cancer metastasis agents derived from omega-3 fatty acid metabolites

At present we have no therapies that prevent cancer spread. In this project we will develop novel w-3 fatty acid epoxide analogues that inhibit tumour metastasis. These derivatives more...

Gadolinium complexes as new theranostic agents for brain cancer

The 5-year survival rate for patients afflicted with aggressive and intractable brain tumours (gliomas) is less than 4%.  In this project, we will incorporate Gd3+ ions into mi more...

Targeting melanoma secretory pathways.

Cancer cells secrete a variety of factors that induce tumour growth, metastasis, angiogenesis, and alter the tumour stroma to create a more favourable microenviroment. This project more...

Understanding the role of novel genes in disease

From mRNA arrays we have identified a number of ‘novel’ genes that influence tissue function. Our studies are investigating the biochemical basis for the mechanism of ac more...
