Funded Activity Summary
Chemical synthesis of cancer-associated glycoproteins. Glycosylation of proteins is an extremely common event which plays an important role in a variety of biological processes. Aberrant glycosylation and over-production of glycoproteins is associated with numerous cancer types (including breast, prostate, ovarian and small lung) and are recognised as promising agents for disease diagnosis and vaccine development. A range of cancer-associated glycoproteins will be synthesised in this research program using a number of novel chemical technologies. These glycoproteins will be used to develop cancer vaccines and diagnostics. Cancer is a severe burden on the Australian community and on the economy, therefore this research will be of significant benefit to Australia.Funded Activity Details
