‘Extracellular vesicle communication: The contribution of RNAs.’
The role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as vehicles for cell-to-cell communication between a tumour and its environment is a relatively new concept. However, the hypothesis that EVs may play a critical role in co-opting tissues by tumours to generate a metastatic niche is generating significant interest. Using prostate cancer as a model, we demonstrated the potential role of EVs as a mechanism of mediating prostate cancer to bone metastasis, and specifically the contribution of the EV-RNA cargo as a means of communication between prostate cancer cells and cells of the bone stroma
Victoria obtained a PhD in genetics from the University of Leicester in 2007. Following her PhD studies, she pursued postdoctoral training in the fields of molecular and cell biology. Victoria was awarded the prestigious JG Graves Research Fellowship in 2012, which she held at the University of Sheffield Cancer Research Centre until joining the University of Nottingham as a lecturer in 2014. Victoria now splits her time between research and teaching and is an active member of the University of Nottingham's Cancer Research Priority Area.
