Priya Samuel

Priya Samuel is a Lecturer in Physiology and Medical Sciences at Oxford Brookes University. Her research focuses on extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cancer biology, particularly their roles in drug resistance, metastasis, and intercellular communication. She teaches courses such as Human Biosciences, Biomedical Science, and Medical Science at the undergraduate level.

• Education: PhD in Cancer Biology (Oxford Brookes University), Medicine (undergraduate)

Research Themes:

• EVs in cancer progression and therapy resistance
• Mechanisms of EV uptake by recipient cells
• miRNA regulation in ovarian cancer
• Stress-response miRNA networks (via miRStress database)

Article Trends: Her publications span EV-based diagnostics, miRNA mechanisms, and glycobiology in cancer. Key subfields include drug resistance, tumor-stroma interactions, and non-invasive biomarker discovery.

Collaborations: Works with researchers like Dr. David Carter, Prof. Sally Brooks, and Dr. Richard Pink on cancer-EV interactions.
