Funded Activity Summary

Preventing genetic damage with BIX - a novel player in the DNA damage response pathway. Defects in the DNA damage-response pathway underpin many human genetic disorders and diseases, including cancer. A detailed understanding of this process has enormous implications for future medicine. Our characterization of a novel protein involved in DNA damage signalling will help in screening inhibitors of this pathway that could be applied in chemo-and/or radiotherapy. This proposal will place Australia among the leaders in this internationally significant and highly competitive area of research leading to the creation of new compounds. Capture of this technology will create the opportunity for IP income, novel exports and new enterprises for Australia.
