She determined that nucleoside-based drugs are able to cross cell membranes by binding to specialized transporter proteins. The drugs are able to enter and directly attack cancer cells during the binding process.
Since 2003, Cass has been director of Alberta’s Cross Cancer Institute. She is Canada Research Chair in oncology at the University of Alberta.
