Repurposing Tamoxifen to treat lethal E. coli infections
ProblemOver 100,000 people suffer from Shiga toxin-producing E. coli infections every year which cause gastrointestinal illness. In 5% to 15% of cases, these toxins enter the bloodstream, which can result in fatal renal disease. These infections are currently untreatable, as traditional antibiotics induce higher toxin concentrations and worsen illness....

Gastric Cancer Detection Test
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common cancer in the world and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. In Australia, the age standardised incident rate (ASR) is 9-10 per 100,000 people and over 11,000 deaths were recorded between 1996 and 2006. The current diagnostic strategy for GC is inadequate.The ability to detect early stage GC...
