Description
Mutated ras-p21 protein has been found in 98 percent of human pancreatic cancers and 50 percent of human colon cancers. A single point mutation is responsible for p21 to become oncogenic. My research involves the study of potential inhibitors in the ras-p21 signal transduction pathway. Xenopus laevis oocytes are used as my experimental model system.
