研究领域

Our research focuses on mechanisms of receptor signalling through mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, which control the four basic decisions cells can make: whether to survive, replicate, differentiate or die. Our work is concentrated on the prototypic Raf-MEK-ERK (extracellular signal regulated kinase) pathway, which serves to relay signals from growth factor, integrin and hormone receptors to the cell interior. Appropriate regulation of the ERK cascade is essential for normal embryonic development, and it is deregulated with alarming frequency in human tumours, making ERK pathway components critical drug targets for controlling tumourigenesis.
