Title

TGF /ALK1 signalling effects on breast tumour metastasis

Synopsis

This project aims identify a new target for breast cancer treatment that stops secondary breast cancer tumours from forming.

Aims & Goals

The project will determine whether there is a protein on the surface of the cells lining blood vessels that controls whether secondary tumours can grow and whether it is a good therapeutic target in preclinical studies.
