Prof Terence Rabbitts
University of Oxford
Project summary
Professor Rabbitts is a molecular biologist who will be using models of cancer progression to determine the changes associated with the development of cancer from initiation to overt cancer. Specifically, he will be comparing which genes are expressed and which proteins are produced as tumours evolve in these different cancer models. These studies will identify new markers for diagnosis and new targets for therapy.
