Research description

BREAST CANCER FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS The molecular taxonomy of breast cancers has revealed a complexity that suggests that different cancers have different cells of origin. The identification and characterisation of these cancer stem cells and their disrupted pathways is one of our research priorities. In parallel we will continue to prospectively validate prognostic and predictive signatures and therapeutic targets with the aim of clinical application.
