Professor Peter Croucher is a bone biologist and cancer researcher, with a longstanding fascination for disorders of the skeleton, particularly osteoporosis and cancer-associated bone disease. He has a particular interest in the molecular mechanisms of bone disease, in how cancers spread to bone, and what controls dormancy (sleeping) and reactivation of cancer cells within bone. He is motivated by the clinical impacts that his research has already had, and by the potential for widespread future impacts on bone disease, cancer relapse and metastasis.
