The transcription factor ZNF652: deciphering its role in breast cancer. [ 2011 - 2013 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof David Callen (Principal investigator)

Brief description From our continuing research we have shown a protein called ZNF652 is involved in cancer. This proposal focuses on the role of this gene in the spread of cancer within the breast and to other organs. We will determine its role in a process where a cancer cell changes its characteristics to make it more likely to spread to other tissues. Our preliminary results suggest ZNF652 could be a marker that will predict poor prognosis. This proposal will further investigate this finding.
