“Despite being the most common cause of cancer-related mortality, metastasis is poorly understood.” Simone Zaccaria, Group Leader at the UCL Cancer Institute, talks about how his single-cell DNA sequencing technology could offer a new way to better understand metastasis and, more specifically, which cancer cells seed metastases, where they disseminate, and when they start.
Utilising samples from patients enrolled in the TRACERx and PEACE studies, Simone’s research group is bringing together multi-disciplinary expertise to enhance our understanding of cancer evolution and translate this for patient benefit. |
