Cancer invasion and the tumour microenvironment
My group is interested in understanding how cancer spreads through the body and how heterogeneous tumour microenvironments modulate the behaviour of cancer cells. To tackle these problems we use a range of techniques spanning computational modelling, conventional molecular and cell biology, organotypic cultures, intravital imaging of tumour models and primary culture of patient-derived tissue.
