Biography

David Bryant is a Professor at the University of Glasgow in the School of Cancer Sciences, focusing on Cancer Cell Biology and Therapeutic Science Research. His laboratory investigates the pivotal roles of tissue organization and cell polarity in tumorigenesis, particularly in colorectal and prostate cancers. By utilizing mini 'avatars' of tumors in ex vivo experiments, he aims to uncover the complexities of how tumor cells lose polarity and facilitate metastasis. The team's research employs advanced techniques including high-content microscopy and computational image analysis on tumor spheroids and organoids. Among his significant contributions are identifying the roles of phosphoinositide signaling and specific proteins such as Podocalyxin in cancer progression and metastasis. His work highlights potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cancer interventions. His recent publications underscore his commitment to understanding metastatic processes and their implications for treatment.
