Funded Activity Summary

Fzd receptors are often upregulated in gastric cancer, and recent studies have shown that targeting these receptors has be effective at reducing cancer cell growth in other cancers including prostate and breast. This project will use cutting edge technology to firstly determine the specific requirement for Fzd receptors during gastric cancer and then determine the therapeutic benefit of using an antibody to target these receptors in mouse models and human gastric cancer cells.
