Brief description Gastrointestinal cancers arise when abnormal cells grow out from otherwise normal tissue. The resulting tumours contain a number of different types of cells, some of which help the tumour to grow, and some of which fight the tumour. We are interested in understanding how soluble molecules called cytokines influence the cells that promote tumour growth. In particular, we will explore the role of a cytokine called Interleukin-11 in these processes to identify novel cancer therapies.
