Projects

Project 1: Biology and treatment of BRCA1 mutant and sporadic Basal-like cancers

Aim 1:  Compare3 the molecular phenotypes of BLC and BRCA1-mutant breast cancers.

Aim 2:  Identify specific functional defects in DNA repair in BLC using DNA repair assays in viable tumor cells obtained from clinical samples.

Aim 3:  Access the response of a cohort of ER(-), PR(-), Her2(-) breast cancers to cis-platin in a phase II neo-adjuvant clinical trial and determine if results of informative assays developed above correlate with clinical response.
