Targeting Multidrug Resistant Cancer (ABC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Despite considerable advances in drug discovery, resistance to anticancer chemotherapy confounds the effective treatment of patients. Cancer cells can acquire broad cross-resistance to mechanistically and structurally unrelated drugs. P-glycoprotein (Pgp) actively extrudes many types of drugs from cancer cells, thereby conferring resistance to those agents. The central tenet of my work is that Pgp ...
