Iain Hugh McKillop, Ph.D.

CBES Area of Interest:

Focuses on providing a better understanding of the imbalance in mechanisms that regulate the rate of tumor cell growth (mitogenesis) and death (apoptosis). Using this information, Dr. McKillop’s group seek to use novel bio-engineering approaches, such as cell transfection coupled with encapsulation, to perform high dose, target specific protein delivery to slow the rate of disease progression.

CBES Area of Expertise:

The design and testing of novel mechanisms to alter the rates of tumor growth and progression with minimal side effects in non-cancerous tissues.
