Investigating the effects of androgen therapies on the prostate immune system
Immunotherapy approaches for prostate cancer have been largely unsuccessful, despite many clinical trials. We propose that harnessing the immune system to treat prostate cancer first requires a better understanding of the unique biology of this disease. The objective of this research program is to investigate the interplay between androgen receptor signalling and immunity in prostate cancer

Androgen receptor (AR) signalling and drug resistance in prostate cancer
The androgen receptor (AR) is a key protein in prostate cells that binds androgen sex hormones (e.g. testosterone) that drive prostate cancer development and progression. We are leading research developing and trialling new androgen receptor targeted drugs to combat drug resistance and fatal disease.
