Funded Activity Summary

The three dimensional organisation of genomic DNA has been recognised to play a crucial role in maintaining the stability and function of human cells. In cancer this organisation is often perturbed as a result of mutations to proteins that govern this process. This project will examine how mutations in the DNA may potentially alter the three dimensional organisation of cancer genomes and will identify links between these mutations with cancer development and patient prognosis.
