Endothelial cell proliferation and lymphatic cell proliferation is initiated during angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis respectively and are both regulated by the VEGF signalling pathway. With some exceptions, endothelial and lymphatic cells in healthy individuals are quiescent and do not proliferate. Read more

Investigating the communication between cancer cells and cells in the tumour microenvironment to improve our understanding of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms and identify new targets for cancer therapy

University of Nottingham School of Medicine

It is well-established that the molecular mechanisms controlling gene expression are disrupted in cancer cells and work in this area has laid the foundations for targeted cancer therapies. We are interested in the regulatory pathways that control cell proliferation and cell migration and the events that disrupt this control in multiple types of cancer. Read more
