Rudd Lab

dNTP metabolism • Genome stability 

Cancer biology & therapeutics

The Rudd lab investigates metabolic pathways operating inside cancer cells and how these pathways support malignant disease. We are particularly focused upon the metabolic interplay between the DNA precursor pool and the DNA molecule, a relationship that is fundamental to cancer biology, underpinning key aspects of oncogenesis together with therapy resistance. We apply a multidisciplinary approach centred upon gaining a detailed mechanistic understanding of these pathways, allowing the identification of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets that can be exploited to rationally improve the treatment of cancer.
