Nuclear receptors and triple negative breast cancer [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Peter Leedman (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Paul Yen ,  Prof Suzanne Fuqua

Brief description This project will explore the potential for a nuclear receptor known as the thyroid receptor to suppress growth of breast cancer using cell culture models and mouse models. We hope to show that activating the thyroid receptors leads to a reduction in breast cancer growth providing evidence that the thyroid receptor pathway could be targeted for therapy.
