We are interested in how the cells and other factors surrounding a tumour (the ‘tumour microenvironment’) affect cancer development and spread. In particular we examine how molecules termed non-coding RNA influence this communication, and what roles extracellular vesicles may play in this. We are using this information to find new drug targets to improve survival. We are also interested in how non-coding RNA influence the ways in which human cells respond to bacteria, with the aim of understanding how this may be involved in the development of disease.
