Funded Activity Summary

Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes, and their length is important to maintain cell viability. We intend to set up a reliable test to measure telomere length and also use this measurement in childhood cancer patients to assess whether patients with shorter telomeres are more susceptible to the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
