Description A novel colchicine derivative, called CCI-001, has been extensively tested against numerous cancer cell lines with very encouraging results. One of the potential applications of this compound could be pancreatic cancer. Currently, a nano-formulated paclitaxel molecule with the use of albumin as a delivery vehicle has been very successfully applied for. pancreatic cancer chemotherapy. This construct has been called nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane). In this project, we will attempt to use a similar method to formulate and test the new compound CCI-001. Most of this work will be performed in the lab of Prof. Lavasanifar at the University of Alberta. Edmonton, Canada.
Required skills nanoformulation, basics of pharmacology, nano-bioengineering
