Scientific interests

Our group focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that mediate resistance to anti-cancer therapies in cancer. Using state-of-the-art mouse models of cancer, as well as quantitative molecular and cellular approaches, we are interested in dissecting the microenvironmental cues that orchestrate specific tumour responses and metastasis formation.
