The aim of Sahai is get all the knowledge about the intrinsic and extrinsic factors which play an important role in the metastasis process to find effective new therapeutic targets to combat it. “We could test hundreds of drugs capable of blocking metastasis but without this prior knowledge it would take many, many years to find an effective treatment” Sahai explained.
