Research Goals
Our lab is currently studying how Ras and Rho signalling pathways allow tumour cells to proliferate, resist apoptotic stimuli and metastasise, either independently or co-ordinately. Through these studies we aim to identify critical signalling proteins that are potential cancer therapeutic targets.
