In the Epithelial Biochemistry Laboratory, we are studying some of the proteins involved in cellular signalling. Cancers which arise from epithelial cells (carcinomas) account for more than three-quarters of all new cancer cases. In the our laboratory, we study biology and biochemistry of proteins such as epidermal growth factor receptors, transforming growth factor-ß receptor, apc and its associated proteins, ephrins and ephs and laminin-integrin interactions. An understanding of these pathways and their constituent proteins will further enable us to better define protein targets for therapies against various cancers.
