Research interests
Our lab at the University of Bath is interested in the role of tumour microenvironment and how it impacts tumour progression and therapy response. We aim to identify novel strategies to target the tumour and/or stroma for the prevention or suppression of (metastatic) cancer and to overcome treatment-resistant tumour progression.
