Funded Activity Summary

We will use mouse models of pancreatic cancer that we have established previously to investigate the molecular basis of the development and progression of tumours in the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. We propose to manipulate a small number of candidate genes using established islet cultures and new mouse models in order to characterise the effect they have on islet cell biology and tumorigenesis.
