Funded Activity Summary

Breast cancer is a common disease that is generally incurable if detected after it has spread to other organs. There is a lack of understanding of molecular events that drive the process. Cancers contain several types of host cells that contribute to the growth of the tumour, which can be regarded as wounds that never heal. Host cells are co-opted to promote continued growth of the cancer cells. It is the aim of this project to understand how these host cells promote the spread of breast cancer
