Overview
Topic status: In progress
SASH1 is lost in approximately 5% of all cancers. SASH1 is known to be a tumour suppressor yet its biological function is still unknown. This project will build on preliminary data generated by our research team suggesting the SASH1 may function as a regulator of the DNA repair pathways.
Research activities
This project will involve a large number of biological techniques to answer some specific questions. These include tissue culture, immuno-blotting, immunofluorescence and cell viability assays.
Expected outcomes
It is predicted that this short study will provide the fundamental evidence that SASH1 functions to control the genome stability of our cells.

This is an 8 week project and the start date can be discussed
