Tumour microenvironment

…investigating interactions between tumour and immune cells. The appointment supports an independent research programme within a centre studying inflammation, angiogenesis, metabolism, genetic and epigenetic regulation, and tumour immunity. The scientific focus connects mechanisms of cancer initiation, progression and metastasis with the tumour microenvironment and their potential therapeutic implications. Applicants submit their research vision and supporting academic material

…the organisation and function of the tumour microenvironment, why immune cells control tumours in some settings but are excluded or suppressed in others, and how these processes can be redirected therapeutically. The scholar will lead a mechanistic project on immune-
