High-Throughout Identification and Targeting of New Breast Cancer Genes. [ 2018 - 2022 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Stacey Edwards (Principal investigator)

Brief description Recent studies have identified DNA sequence variations within the human genome that are associated with an increased risk or can influence the outcome of breast cancer. This research program will identify the key genes affecting cancer development and assess their contribution to cancer growth. I will then use this knowledge to assess their suitability for drug development. Understanding how our DNA contributes to breast cancer will provide new avenues for prevention or treatment.
