This project aims to develop new treatments for malignant pleural mesothelioma, a deadly cancer linked to asbestos exposure. By optimizing a chemical reaction to synthesize a promising natural product, the research seeks to discover effective compounds against this challenging disease.
Human malignant pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive (fatal) lung cancer which is always associated with previous asbestos exposure.
Typically symptoms do not appear until 35-40 years after the original exposure, with life expectancy then 12-18 months.
Given the great use of asbestos during the 20th century and this long latency period, it is no surprise that cases of mesothelioma continue to rise.
There is no known cure for mesothelioma: traditional chemotherapeutic treatments have had littl…
