Project: How do lymph nodes facilitate cancer metastasis?
Mueller Group
This project will examine the bi-directional interactions between metastatic tumour cells and the lymphoid organs, in order to define how cancer impacts tissue functions, and identify mechanisms to restrict tumour growth and improve disease outcomes.
