Funded Activity Summary

Crosstalk between cell survival and cell death pathways. This project aims to determine the precise molecular mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions. The dynamics between cell survival (autophagy) and cell death (apoptosis) are complex, involving significant crosstalk between these pathways. This is fundamentally important to cellular processes. Aberrant control of autophagy and apoptosis affects the function of all organisms as well as the development and treatment of diseases ranging from cancer to heart disease. This project endeavours to advance our understanding of the proteins that interconnect autophagy and apoptosis. The results are expected to explain how cells determine their fate and inform future development of strategies to treat disease.
