Drug Resistance in Cancers
The NICB has developed a range of human cell models for resistance to chemotherapeutic agents (contact: Martin Clynes: martin.clynes@dcu.ie) and newer targeted therapeutics (contact: Norma O'Donovan: norma.odonovan@dcu.ie), which are being used to discover novel therapeutic strategies to treat resistant cancers. We also have an active programme for detection of drug resistance-related proteins in human cancer tissue sections (contact: Annemarie Larkin: annemarie.larkin@dcu.ie).
