    Situation

    59% of women with ovarian cancer will die within 5 years of diagnosis. The survival rates are so low, because many women develop a resistance to conventional chemotherapy.

    Solution

    Predicting which women will develop a resistance to chemotherapy, will mean that alternative treatments can be given. This project will investigate the role of a particular protein (LARP1), that has the ability to make cancer cells 'turn nasty'.
