Research in a Nutshell 

The Innovative Therapeutics Lab is led by Professor Asier Unciti-Broceta and based at Edinburgh Cancer Research, part of the Institute of Genetics and Cancer at the University of Edinburgh, where Asier established the first chemistry lab of the Institute in 2010. The lab explores novel chemical strategies to improve the efficacy and safety of cancer treatments. This includes development of highly-selective inhibitors of kinases involved in cancer and novel prodrug strategies aimed at improving the clinical use of well-established chemotherapy drugs.
