My group’s work focuses on the role of the tumour suppressor protein LIMD1 and its family members Ajuba and WTIP and how their deregulation in normal tissue contributes to the development of lung, renal and breast cancer.
My research interests focus on improving the care of women with breast cancer through clinical trials. I am investigating a variety of novel agents that target specific pathways within cancer cells and the surrounding tissue.
My research project aims to identify germline mutations in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and to understand their contribution in the development of these haematological diseases, using in vitro and ex vivo models. This study will lead to a step forward in the diagnosis and treatment of this group of life-threatening diseases.
My project is focused on the identification of molecular factors affecting adenoviral therapy.
