Funded Activity Summary

Peter Fuller is both a molecular and clinical endocrinologist. His research examines steroid hormones in cardiovascular disease and cancer. The hormone aldosterone controls blood pressure and has a significant role in cardiac failure. This work will enable the development of tissue-specific blockers of aldosterone for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Steroid hormones also have a role in granulosa cell tumours of the ovary and breast cancer; new insights will lead to novel therapeutics.
