Our
mission is to understand the underlying mechanisms that control cancer cell proliferation and invasion. We are particularly focused on the role of PEA-15 and the ERK MAP kinase pathway in these aspects of cancer formation and progression. In collaboration with Chemists in the Natural Products and Cancer Biology program we are developing new drugs to target cancer based on our basic research findings. Currently we are investigating the dysregulation of cell signalling in neuroblastoma and glioblastoma.
