Brief description The most catastrophic event in cancer progression is when individual cancer cells move to other areas of the body and develop into secondary tumours. This very complex process shows striking similarities to cell movements during embryogenesis. In this project, we use a model system, the zebrafish, to analyse how cells move during embryogenesis. We will determine the genes required for cell movements in the zebrafish embryo, so we can find the corresponding genes in human cancers.
