Funded Activity Summary

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal human cancers, namely due to frequent late stage diagnosis. Thus, there is urgent need to better understand the biology of this disease. Cancer cells are characteristically more reliant on nutrients in order to sustain their growth, making them more vulnerable to inhibition of nutrient supplies. The key aim of this project is to better understand the ways in which PC cells take up nutrients so that these processes may potentially be blocked.
