Our research programme seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying apoptotic cell death and how deregulated apoptosis leads to cancer. We aim to develop novel therapies which target components of this deregulated pathway. Furthermore, we are interested in determining how tumour resistance to chemotherapy relates to cell survival through autophagic mechanisms.
