Funded Activity Summary

Conventional cancer treatments are becoming increasingly ineffective as cancers mutate to protect cells from drug-activated death. To combat this, new ways to selectively kill cancer cells must be found and therapeutically exploited. This research will study how ferroptosis, a recently discovered form of cell death that is distinct from other killing mechanisms, can be used to target cancer and provide avenues for next-generation cancer treatments.
