Chair

: Available for postgraduate supervision

I have a long-standing interest in cancer metastasis and from 1987, my main research interest has been on the molecular and cellular basis of cancer invasion and metastasis and therapeutic aspects of targeting cancer metastasis. I have been particularly interested in the bone, peritoneal and brain metastasis from primary tumours including breast, prostate, lung, GI cancers. My research has been conducted in Cardiff's School of Medicine and I have collaborated widely with colleagues in the UK, China, Europe, North America and Asia.
