Targeting the interface between tumours and their microenvironment for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This fellowship explores the synergistic interactions between intestinal cancer cells and the tumour microenvironment and which promote survival, expansion, migration and invasion as well as facilitating the development of resistance to anti-cancer therapy. Aided by the clinical expertise of my collaborators, my efforts are likely to yield translational outcomes, including the development of therapeutic IL-11 antagonists, and of a serum protein signature indicative of early stage gastric cancer.
