Brief description Cancer arises through damage to normal regulatory processes in cells. Understanding these damaged processes is essential to implement personalized medicine. This proposal explores the role of the proto-oncogene ID4 in the closely related cancers triple negative breast cancer and serous ovarian cancer. This research may lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies or the refinement of existing strategies for these poor prognosis cancers.
