In our investigation of cancer we analyze the mechanisms of cell adhesion/migration and their contribution to metastasis. We use both experimental models and clinical studies to determine what mechanisms are clinically relevant. Recently we have expanded to cloud computing and image analysis to improve clinical prediction with machine learning.
