Cancer and Stem Cell Biology
Genetic and epigenetic abnormalities enable cancer stem cells to hijack normal stem cell self-renewal mechanisms that multiply out of control, causing cancer. The major goal of the Cancer and Stem Cell Biology Group is to understand the mechanisms that regulate aberrant self-renewal and drug resistance of malignant stem cells, and to develop cancer stem cell-targeted therapies that are more effective and less toxic for patients with tumours
