Funded Activity Summary

Metastasis accounts for over 90% of deaths due to cancer worldwide. I aim to uncover the signals, which drive cancer cells to distant sites leading to metastatic tumour growth. Although the efficacy of current therapeutics is improving, they are unable to counteract tumour spread and relapses that are common with many cancers. My research will focus on understanding the events that lead to metastasis thus enabling us to develop better therapies for aggressive cancers.
