These talks are aimed at Masters and first year PhD students but all are welcome to attend.

Cancers are not just masses of malignant cells. Adjacent “normal” cells, which include fibroblasts, endothelial cells, pericytes and immune cells – known as the stroma – form a microenvironment that co-evolves with cancer from its earliest stages to shape progression. The objective of this lecture is to convey the complexity of a tumour and its surrounding stroma. We will cover the components of the tumour microenvironment, their functional roles within a developing tumour and the implications for therapy
