Funded Activity Summary

Specific gene inhibition through functional genomics and high through-put small molecule screening. This project will utilise functional genomic technologies in an attempt to identify genes in childhood neuroblastoma as potential candidates for the future development of molecular-targeted gene therapy. By screening large 'libraries' of chemical compounds, we aim to identify compounds with the ability to specifically inhibit these gene targets. This project will therefore define novel molecular targets and possibly facilitate the future development of new therapeutic approaches to treating neuroblastoma. In addition, the project will develop know-how that can be utilised by both the industry partner and the broader research community and will introduce to Australian science novel techniques and skills.
