@frances-turrell.bsky.social and I have written a review! Ageing has profound impacts on many cell types and signalling pathways - how may this play a role in reawakening of dormant tumour cells and late recurrence in patients? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @mcrcnews.bsky.social

Ageing influences tumour–niche interactions: Implications for metastatic dormancy, reawakening and recurrence

Many cancer patients remain at risk of metastatic relapse for the remainder of their lives, despite initial disease remission, due to disseminated tum…

Had a great afternoon yesterday hosting the Christmas lab Olympics, after some fierce competition we have some proud new owners of the golden breast trophy 🏆 @robclarkelab.bsky.social @mcr-breastcentre.bsky.social

I'm presenting some of my postdoc work, 'The ageing lung microenvironment in metastatic and dormant ER+ breast cancer' next week at the @britsocimm.bsky.social congress. Come along to part one of the 'Inflammation in cancer' session at 11am on Weds 3/12 if you're there! #BSI25 #ImmunoSky

Had a great day at the 2025 Manchester Breast Centre Symposium. It was a privilege to present our ongoing work amongst some brilliant talks 🧪 @mcr-breastcentre.bsky.social

3rd PhD project being advertised in the @frances-turrell.bsky.social lab! Utilising liver fibrosis models to translate our findings in the lung to other critical sites of breast cancer metastasis and dormancy 🧪 @mcrcnews.bsky.social @mcr-breastcentre.bsky.social #ImmunoSky

Two really exciting PhD projects currently being advertised in our group. One project on how tumour cells shape the TME in breast cancer and how this impacts immunotherapy 🧪 @frances-turrell.bsky.social @mcrcnews.bsky.social @mcr-breastcentre.bsky.social

Super privileged to be working on such an interesting and important project! Working out how tumour cell dormancy is regulated is critical to managing reawakening and mitigating this risk for patients. Watch this space for some exciting experiments 🧪 #ImmunoSky #CancerResearch
