Cancer
Our research
We study the molecular and cellular basis of cancer and the development of target-specific therapeutics.
Our research ranges from analysis of genomes and transcriptomes in cancer, structural biology and dynamics of cancer regulatory pathways, and mechanistic understanding of intracellular and inter-cellular signalling to aberrant tissue homeostasis, the biology of viruses that cause cancer and screening and design of potential therapeutic leads.
Research themes
Cell Signalling
Understanding the structure of oncogenes and cancer growth regulatory proteins and the mechanistic basis of aberrant intra- and inter-cellular communication.
More on Cell SignallingTumour Biology
Understanding cancer cells behaviour and cytoskeletal organisation, the role of the tumour stroma and the control of tumour angiogenesis.

Understanding genomic and epigenomic changes that drive cancer biology
Viral Oncology
Understanding the mechanisms of virus-induced cancer development.
