SUMMARY:Dr Frances Turrell, University of Manchester
DESCRIPTION:'The ageing microenvironment and its impact on metastatic dormancy and relapse in ER+ breast cancer'Dr Frances Turrell is a Principal Investigator in the University of Manchester and Manchester Breast Centre. Frances did her PhD at the MRC Cancer Unit, University of Cambridge where she studied the impact of KRAS and TP53 mutations on disease progression and response to therapy in non-small cell lung cancer. After completing her PhD, she moved to the Institute of Cancer Research in London to do postdoctoral training in Professor Clare Isacke’s group. This is where Frances began her research into the microenvironmental regulation of breast cancer metastasis. Frances started her group in Manchester at the beginning of 2024. Frances and her team are currently focussing on role of the microenvironment in dormancy and metastasis in oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. They are particularly interested in how the microenvironment at secondary sites changes with age and whether these age-associated changes impact the behaviour of the disseminated tumour cells.All welcome.
