Thesis title: Characterisation of X-linked
inhibitor of apoptosis protein in ovarian granulosa cell tumours. Synopsis:
Granulosa cell tumours (GCT) represent a large subset of sex-cord stromal
tumours which contribute to ~8% of all ovarian malignancies. The aim of my PhD
project is to investigate PPAR gamma and XIAP as potential targets for
combination treatment of GCT. I will also identify and manipulate the unusual
and distinctive patterns of expression of key genes involved in cell survival,
which will provide us with both prognostic information and potential new and
novel therapeutic targets for treatment of these tumours. Supervisors: Prof.
Peter J Fuller and Dr Simon Chu. Panel chair: Dr Peter Stanton. Independent
assessors: A/Prof Tim Cole and Prof Vincent Harley.
