You will be integral to an AMS Springboard-funded research project investigating the role of LDs in medulloblastoma. 

In cancer, LDs have been reported to optimise energy production and redox balance to promote tumour progression. 

This project will investigate the importance of LDs in ensuring medulloblastoma survival under stress conditions.
