MINISTERO DELL'ISTRUZIONE, DELL'UNIVERSITÀ E DELLA RICERCA
PROGETTO NEGOZIALE F.I.R.B.
Identification and functional analysis of the gene
expression profiles characterizing hormone-responsive
breast cancer
AIMS:
1.
Identification of new panels of molecular markers to
better prognostic evaluation of breast cancer lesions,
with respect to prediction of the degree of hormone
responsiveness and clinical evolution of the disease;
2.
Generating a publicly available list of annotations on
genes and gene networks relevant to mammary gland
and breast cancer biology and to ovarian hormone
action;
3.
Training in post-genomics and technological
dissemination.
