Identification, Isolation and Analysis of Single Cancer Stem Cells

Project summary

To understand the molecular mechanisms driving oncogenesis it is imperative to study individual cells. I will create and use optical and chemical methods for the identification, isolation and analysis of single cancer stem cells, and investigate their role in the formation, progression and therapeutic resistance of tumors.

This project will inform theories of decision-making and of implicit bias and will contribute to a fair and just method of assessing all our future professionals, including those from ethnic minorities.
