Cancer development is a multi-step process including the induction of instability in genes, abnormal gene expression, angiogenesis, metastasis, and immune evasion. Thus, using a single agent to target all of these pathways may fail to provide an efficient treatment for cancer. The objective of my research is to design new combination therapies that work in concert to target different steps in cancer development. Due to their low toxicity and multiple mechanisms of action, natural products are promising sources to develop new anticancer combination therapies.
