A cellular identity crisis: Deciphering how mammary epithelial cells form and maintain their identity [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description The ability to regenerate human organs from adult cells efficiently and without error is a major goal of biomedical research in Australia, with significant economic benefits. As one of the most regenerative organs in a woman's body, the breast is an excellent model to study mechanisms that underpin tissue growth and regrowth. Moreover, as these pathways are often hijacked by cancer, this research has important implications for the development of new targeted therapies to treat breast cancer.
