Our group works within many areas of colorectal cancer research, but focuses mainly on the control and treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Our aim is to develop efficacious treatments for locally advanced and metastatic colorectal cancer. We aim to reach this target by merging the clinic and lab through transitional projects utilising strategies such as preclinical models, clinical cohort studies and clinical intervention trials. Through these projects, we further our understanding of the biology of cancer, the biomarkers that may predict disease or disease progression, and the efficacy of new drugs and therapies.
