Grant Activity:
Therapeutic targeting of a novel self-renewal signalling in leukaemia stem cells
Purpose:

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a fatal form of blood cancer in children. The survival of AML patients remains poor due to the return of disease after chemotherapy (relapse). Leukaemia stem cells (LSCs) are the major cause of relapse and we are studying how to eradicate them without harming healthy cells. This project will develop a novel LSC-targeted therapy with minimal side effects and toxicity that will improve the dismal outcome of childhood AML.
