Polyamine conjugates: a new means of anticancer drug deliverya new means of anticancer drug delivery

One of the problems with current cancer therapy is that the drugs do not just affect the cancer cells they also kill normal cells and produce serious side effects. One of the goals of cancer research is therefore to develop agents that will be specific for the cancer cells only. This project will determine whether we can deliver drugs to cancer cells using a chemical tail which is recognised by cancer cells and kill the cancer cell while having little or no effect on normal cells.
