My current research interests include understanding the interactions between breast cancer cells and stromal cells in the tumour microenvironment, and how exercise may impinge on these interactions. We created a novel 3D model system for investigating the interactions between mesenchymal stem cells and 3D tumour spheroids, and are now branching into patient-derived organoids and adipocytes to model the obesogenic environment in hormonal breast cancers.
