Oliver M. Pearce

Oliver M. Pearce is a Professor and Group Leader in the Tumour Extracellular Matrix research field. He focuses on understanding the role of the tumour microenvironment (TME) in immunosuppression, particularly related to extracellular matrix composition and function. His work intersects cancer biology, immunology, and proteomics.

Research Themes:

• Tumour Microenvironment
• Metastasis and Invasion
• Immunotherapy
• Glycan Shield Analysis
• Siglec Receptor Interactions
• Extracellular Matrix Remodeling

Major Funding: Cancer Research UK (2019-2025, £813,040) for research on targeting extracellular matrix to restore immunotherapy response, and Against Breast Cancer (2018-2019) for glycan shield studies.

Professional Affiliation: Member of the British Society for Matrix Biology, contributing to collaborative research in cancer microenvironment dynamics.
