Innovative Working Group

The Breast Cancer Innovative Working Group translates discovery about fundamental breast cancer mechanisms to the clinical setting. The three goals of the initiative are:

  • To investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of breast cancer metastasis
  • To promote collaboration among scientists and clinicians with diverse expertise to enhance discovery, diagnosis and treatment
  • To promote the translation of discoveries to clinical application in the form of new targeted therapies, biomarkers and diagnostics
