Phage-Display for Cancer Treatment: Targeting RTKs to Inhibit Growth and Metastasis

Our lab is currently working on an exciting project with students to explore the use of phage-display technology to target receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) in cancer cells. RTKs, including EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) and other related proteins, play a crucial role in cancer cell proliferation and metastasis. By using phage-display techniques, we aim to develop new molecules that can inhibit the activity of these RTKs, potentially slowing tumor growth and reducing the spread of cancer.

This project combines cutting-edge research with hands-on student learning, providing a unique opportunity to contribute to the fight against cancer while developing practical lab skills
