Targeting Multidrug Resistant Cancer (ABC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Despite considerable advances in drug discovery, resistance to anticancer chemotherapy confounds the effective treatment of patients. Cancer cells can acquire broad cross-resistance to mechanistically and structurally unrelated drugs. P-glycoprotein (Pgp) actively extrudes many types of drugs from cancer cells, thereby conferring resistance to those agents. The central tenet of my work is that Pgp ...

"Giving adequate responses to infrequent, unpredictable events occurring in the environment is crucial in many tasks in everyday life (e.g. driving a car, etc.). Such events draw our attention away from the task at hand, or make the use of infrequently used response alternatives necessary, and thereby often lead to a temporary performance loss: responses are slower and more mistakes are made.
