Funded Activity Summary

Cancer cells often contain defects which prevent their death. To kill cancer cells we must either reset or bypass these defects. Release of cytochrome c from mitochondria is a critical event in cell death and proteins that block this event render cells resistant to many cancer therapies. My research will determine how cytochrome c release occurs, how this event is regulated and how to kill cancer cells in which cytochrome c release is blocked.
