Funded Activity Summary

Novel models to advance our understanding of mammalian development. This project aims to add to the understanding of cellular processes underpinning mammalian development. Protein phosphorylation is a dynamic process regulated by both protein kinases and protein phosphatases. While the role of kinases in cellular functions are well defined, the roles of protein phosphatases are not well understood. Using a range of laboratory models this project aims to discover the function of the phosphatase PP2A, in cell proliferation, survival, differentiation and DNA damage repair. The anticipated outcome is an improved understanding of all stages of mammalian development. This will provide significant benefits in the biotechnology, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
