Cancer and Ageing Research Group

The strength of the group is in unity cemented together by the common interest in ageing related biomedical research including cancer (Csanad Bachrati, Issam Hussain, Stefan Millson, Natalia Fili, Prof Ciro Rinaldi), neurodegenerative diseases (Humberto Gutierrez, Yvonne Nyathi),  stroke and cardiovascular diseases (Steve Bevan, Prof Carlos Rodriguez Pascual), arthritis (Csanad Bachrati), pulmonary fibrosis (Yvonne Nyathy), geriatric medicine, frailty and geriatric assessment (Prof  Carlos Rodriguez Pascual). Our current research projects include:

Cancer Research

• Gene expression changes associated with essential thrombocythema and myelodysplastic syndromes and their implication in therapy (Prof Ciro Rinaldi)
• Elucidating the molecular mechanisms in myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ciro Rinaldi)
• Elucidating the cellular function of DNA topoisomerase III alpha (Csanad Bachrati)
• Characterising novel proteins potentially involved in homologous recombination (Csanad Bachrati)
• Establishing a cellular model for the development of osteosarcoma (Csanad Bachrati)
• Molecular chaperons in proteomics of interactions (Stefan Millson)
• Targeting the heatshock response in cancer therapy (Stefan Millson)
• Understanding how the motor proteins myosins are regulated in mammalian cells and how disruption of this regulation can lead to disease (Natalia Fili)
• Development of synthetic receptor ligands with anti-tumour and anti-seizure properties (Issam Hussain)

Stroke and cardiovascular diseases

• Low-frequency and common genetic variation in ischemic stroke (Steve Bevan)
• Contribution of subclinical cardiovascular disease to physical and cognitive frailty syndrome (Prof Carlos Rodriguez Pascual)
• Efficiency of physical frailty markers to determine the prognosis of advanced age patients with severe aortic stenosis and heart failure (Prof Carlos Rodriguez Pascual)
• Efficiency of a disease management program in very elderly patients with heart failure and high comorbidity (Prof Carlos Rodriguez Pascual)
