Breakthrough in Cancer

Date time 8 September, 2015

Read about one of our latest breakthroughs in cancer research featured in Research Australia‘s GrassROOTS magazine! Associate Professor Mark Gorrell and our Molecular Hepatology team have uncovered new information about an enzyme called DPP9 that they believe to be a potential therapeutic target for limiting tumour growth and its ability to spread to and in the liver.
