Manchester Breast Centre (MBC) External Seminar Series, sponsored by Breast Cancer Now Thursday 2 November 2023, 2:00pm – 3:00pm Professor Val Brunton, University of Edinburgh - “Tumour-stromal interactions and adhesion proteins in breast cancer” Hosted by: Rob Clarke Live seminar at: OCRB Lecture Theatre, Oglesby Cancer Research Building, 555 Wilmslow Rd, Manchester M20 4GJ

Val Brunton – Professor of Cancer Therapeutics Professor Valerie Brunton is chair of Cancer Therapeutics at the Edinburgh Cancer Research UK Centre, University of Edinburgh. Val’s research interests are focussed on understanding how the tumour microenvironment regulates cancer progression and response to therapy. Their research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms whereby tumour cells can metastasise and in particular how adhesion networks drive metastatic spread. They are also interested in how these same adhesion pathways regulate the tumour microenvironment. They use a range of protein/peptide technologies, genetic intervention and high-definition biological analysis including mouse models of cancer and quantitative intra-vital imaging that permits visualisation of multiple cancer cell phenotypes in vivo. This provides information on the molecular regulators of cancer processes linked to invasion, metastasis and survival in the tumour environment and allows them to monitor drug efficacy and mechanism of action of new molecularly targeted agents to enable identification of more effective treatments.
