Funded Activity Summary

Melanoma is a major Australian health problem. This is believed to be due to resistance of melanoma cells to cell death associated with inappropriate activation of survival signalling pathways. My previous studies have provided a number of insights into resistance mechanisms of melanoma cells to apoptosis. I wish to understand more fully the molecular basis of the survival signalling pathways, and to identify new therapeutic targets for overcoming resistance of melanoma to treatment.
