Our main aim is to provide a proof of concept for the functional relevance of either intestinal or hepatic microbiota on the formation and development of CRC liver metastasis. To this end we will compare primary and metastatic tumours form patients, and utilize an orthotopic mouse model for CRC metastasis.
