Summary
As molecular cell biologist and protein chemist my motivation for research is to tackle metastatic cancer, one of the principle health burdens of the 21 century. Over the next five years I will lead R&D programs with national and international collaborators that will generate new diagnostic approaches and insights in basic and translational research. These will allow us to develop anti-cancer drugs, which target several of the mechanisms that are active in metastatic cancers.
I am a molecular biologist determining the mechanisms that promote the spread of cancer via blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, with the aim of developing novel anti-cancer therapeutics to block these processes. My approach is to target protein growth fa
