Professor Lynch is interested in the anti-cancer properties of isoflavones. The
isoflavones, genistein and diadzien are found in soybeans. Genistein has the
ability to inhibit the invasion of a brain tumor, called glioblastoma multiforme, into
normal brain tissue. Currently, there is an invasive method for the delivery of
genistein at the brain tumor site. Her research involves developing non-invasive
delivery methods for genistein.
- L. M. J. Lynch and A. Bhushan. Isoflavones increase PTEN levels in glioblastoma multiforme cells.
- L. M. J. Lynch and W. G. North. NMDA receptors present in human neuroblastoma and breast cancer cell lines.
