Funded Activity Summary

Apoptotic signalling in virally infected and normal cells. Viral diseases contribute substantially to mortality and morbidity, in Australia and internationally. Emerging viral diseases, including H5N1 avian influenza, have the potential to severely impact on human health and the global economy. Concerns also exist that viruses may be used as bioweapons. This project seeks to define the mechanisms by which cell death occurs and is regulated in healthy cells, and how this is altered in virally infected or oncogenically transformed cells. Outcomes of this work may contribute to development of novel anti-cancer and anti-viral therapies, diagnostic reagents and vaccines.
