Research Lives: Clodagh Murphy, Musgrave Breakthrough Cancer Research PhD Scholar, University College Dublin
Clodagh Murphy's PhD project at UCD's School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science looks at a subset of lung cancer that typically doesn’t respond well to current treatments, and really all cancers, is that what drives the disease in one patient may not be the same in the next patient and this can result in different responses to therapy. For example, some people will respond better to chemotherapy than others.
It’s the same in the cell, if there are too many long non-coding RNAs, they can start to act a bit crazy and lose control of the cell components, and what was once a healthy cell can be driven to become an unhealthy, out-of-control, cancerous cell.
