My research project involves the development of tissue-engineered 3D in vitro models of primary and metastatic bone cancer. Such models have facilitated the identification of novel roles of the bone niche in modulating cancer cell phenotype and drug response. Tissue engineered 3D in vitro bone cancer models can also enable the identification of novel therapeutic targets within a more physiologically relevant context and serve as high-throughput platforms for screening patient responses to drug therapies.
