Brown, Sarah - University of Wolverhampton - Faculty of Science & Engineering

个人简介

After completing my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at the University of Salford I did a PhD at the University of Manchester where I worked in the Leukaemia Research Fund laboratory and investigated the phenotypic, morphological, and functional comparison between normal and leukaemia derived dendritic cells. I joined the University of Wolverhampton in 2005 as a Research Fellow investigating the potential of using the anti-alcoholism drug disulfiram in combination with copper as a novel chemosensitiser for breast cancer and brain tumour chemotherapy. In 2012 I was appointed as a Demonstrator in the School of Pharmacy

研究领域

Investigating the potential of using the anti-alcoholism drug disulfiram (DS) in combination with copper (Cu) as a novel chemosensitiser for breast cancer and brain tumour chemotherapy. DS-Cu can simultaneously modulate the anti-apoptotic NFkB (inhibits) and pro-apoptotic ROS-JNK (activates) pathways to improve the cytotoxicity of a conventional anticancer drugs to cell lines and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) positive stem-like-cells. DS-Cu modulates the ROS–MAPK and NFκB pathways and targets cancer cells with cancer stem cell-like properties
