Funded Activity Summary

Control of cell survival by the Bcl-2 protein family. The control of apoptosis is essential for homeostasis. It is now realized that deregulation of apoptosis is a hallmark of many cancers. In apoptosis, the Bcl-2 protein family plays a central role in determining if a cell lives or dies. My proposal aim is to provide a deeper understanding of how cell death and survival is controlled by the Bcl-2 family. These studies have notable implications for understanding normal cell death control as well as aid in the development of therapeutic agents such as ones to overcome the resistance to apoptosis, found in many types of cancer.
