Professor Anne Ridley and her team at Kings College London are studying the molecules that control how cancer cells move and spread around the body.
Professor Ridley is focusing on a family of 20 molecules called Rho GTPases that are involved in cell movement. She is working out how Rho GTPases are involved in cancer cell movement and cancer spread, and how they are controlled. Her team is also investigating how breast cancer cells spread to the lungs.
Learning more about how these molecules enable cancer cells to move could lead to the identification of potential targets for future treatments to help stop cancer spreading.
