Funded Activity Summary

Blood cancers such as leukaemia are among the most deadly types of cancer and new treatments are desperately needed to improve survival. We have identified a new pathway that is activated when cells undergo stress. This pathway controls the survival of normal blood cells and also appears to be very important in the way cancer cells respond to chemotherapy. We will characterize this pathway in normal blood cells and use this information to develop new treatments to target and eliminate the leukaemia cells.
