The Modulation of Membrane Biophysical Properties in Cancer Cells by Azurin and its Relation to Anti-cancer Drug Resistance | iBB | Scoop.it
Nuno Bernardes, will be giving a talk entitled “The modulation of membrane biophysical properties in cancer cells by azurin and its relation to anti-cancer drug resistance”, Monday the 17th April, at 12h30m, in room QA1.3, South Tower, IST (Alameda). The seminar will highlight progress made on the anti-cancer activity of the bacterial-derived protein azurin, particularly the modulation of membrane biophysical properties of cancer cells and the abrogation of drug resistance. Nuno Bernardes is currently a Post-Doctoral Fellow at BSRG-iBB. His research has focused on the understanding of how bacterial-derived proteins, or derived peptides, may have an impact in the management of human diseases, namely cancer, aiming at their therapeutic use. The talk is included in the 2nd Edition of iBB seminars.
