Outline of Research at the Start |
The proposed research aims to improve our understanding of the mechanisms regulating cancer metastasis, the leading cause for cancer death. The focus is on the chemokine receptor ACKR3, recently identified from a screening for genes regulating metastasis. Another goal is to develop methods for labeling, isolating and characterizing cells from the metastatic niche, the non-cancer cells surrounding the tumor. Successful implementation of the research is expected to make scientific and potentially clinical contributions in the field of cancer metastasis.
