Dr. Jeff Holst is Faculty at the Centenary Institute, and Associate Professor at the University of Sydney. His laboratory has uncovered how amino acid transporters regulate nutrient uptake in different cancers and cancer subtypes. His recent work continues to determine how these amino acid transporters function in melanoma, breast cancer and prostate cancer, as well as developing novel therapeutics aimed at blocking nutrient uptake in cancer.
