Research summary
AI-generated

Sarah Libring studies how physical forces and cell movement within tumors influence cancer progression, particularly in breast cancer. Her work examines how tumor blood vessels, surrounding connective tissue cells (fibroblasts), and even mitochondria (the energy-producing structures within cells) affect how cancer cells migrate and spread to other organs. This research combines cell biology with mechanical and physical concepts to understand cancer metastasis.

Publication output was low and steady through the late 2010s, spiked sharply in 2023 (largely due to a single multi-part publication with associated supplementary materials), and has since returned to a lower, occasional pace.
