Collaborator role
Lucija Peterlin Mašič and her esteemed group bring a wealth of expertise in medicinal chemistry to the consortium. Their methodological prowess in chemistry equips them with the capabilities to strategically design bioactive molecules tailored to exert specific actions on mitochondrial ionic targets. Lucija's group has demonstrated proficiency in synthesizing compounds targeting a sub-family of KV1.3 potassium channels, including those localized to both the plasma membrane and mitochondria.
The invaluable expertise of Lucija and her group will play a pivotal role in our efforts to establish precise and specific strategies for targeting mitochondrial ionic components in cancer. Their ability to rationally design molecules with targeted actions on these crucial cellular components holds immense promise for advancing our understanding of cancer biology and developing innovative therapeutic interventions.
