Brief description The nuclear retention mechanism is a novel way used by cells to control which genes are made into proteins - a fundamental process for all diseases, particularly cancers. This project will employ cutting edge structural and proteomic techniques to determine the molecular details underpinning nuclear retention. These insights will be important for the development of new tissue-restricted gene therapy applications and drugs targeting the cancers that rely on this mechanism.
