Lucet Lab: Kinase Signalling and Drug Discovery

Our lab is committed to investigating the root causes of diseases and developing cutting-edge therapeutic strategies that can enhance the health of our community. We are primarily focused on understanding the role of proteins in cellular processes and how their malfunction can lead to the onset of diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurological conditions.

We specifically study protein kinases, which are signaling proteins that regulate nearly all biological processes in the body. Through our research, we aim to uncover novel kinase-driven signaling pathways and identify the mechanisms that contribute to uncontrolled signaling, which can cause cancer and inflammatory disorders.

Our ultimate goal is to leverage our fundamental research findings to create innovative therapeutic approaches that can effectively prevent and treat diseases caused by kinase dysregulation. We are confident that our expertise and knowledge will make a significant impact on the health and well-being of our community.

As a lab, we rely on the crucial support of basic research funding to translate our findings into practical applications and accelerate the development of groundbreaking treatments.
