Research Interest
The Longmore laboratory major research focus is to determine how tumor cells and their immediate environment communicate with one another to facilitate tumor cell invasion, migration, and metastasis. In general, Cell adhesions and Cell Migration. The laboratory has identified and validated a number of novel pathways and putative targets with the potential for development of novel therapeutics. We use multidisciplinary approaches that include: molecular cell biology, mechanobiology, computational simulation, and various live 3D imaging modalities.
