Title
The thioredoxin and related redox systems as targets in breast cancer
Synopsis
Dr Martin will study a group of molecules called redox proteins, members of the thioredoxin family in particular which are thought to help breast cancer cells survive current therapies.
Aims & Goals
By examining breast tumour specimens he hopes to discover whether these proteins play a role in the development of resistance to treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and whether novel drugs can sensitize breast cancer cells to such therapies.
