The project in a nutshell
Investigating whether stopping a protein called RAMP3 from
working helps stop prostate cancer growing and spreading.
Why we funded it
RAMP3 is not an essential protein in the body and so it can be
blocked without causing any serious side-effects (unlike
chemotherapy or radiotherapy). This could develop into an effective
treatment for preventing the spread of prostate cancer.
