Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent form of tumor in women. Every year in Italy there are around 50,000 new cases of BC. Despite consolidated therapeutic protocols, approximately 15% of patients experience drug resistance. Overexpression of the receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB2 characterizes approximately 20% of human BC. ERbB2+ and Triple Negative subtypes undergo frequent relapses and drug resistance.
Defilippi’s lab will offer to the applicant all the conditions to carry out her/his work, with innovative techniques in a centre which benefit of the facilities required to carry on the proposed research, including fully equipped cell culture, microscope and animal facility.
