Kairbaan Hodivala-Dilke is Professor of Angiogenesis at Queen Mary, University of London. Her group's research aims to improve the efficacy of standard of care immunotherapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy in human solid cancers by understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying tumour stromal contributions to tumour growth and therapy efficacy. In particular, they are interested in the regulatory role of cross talk of blood vessel wall cells in cancer control, using a combination of cell type-specific knock-out and knock-in systems in state-of-the-art mouse models of cancer and analysis of the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind these observations. Based on their research they have patented approaches targeting blood vessels that we will aim to translate to cancer patient benefit. New projects are exploring the tumour microenvironment and relevance to ethnicity.
