CHARACTERIZATION OF NUCLEAR RECEPTOR AND CO-REGULATOR EXPRESSION AND FUNCTION IN BREAST CANCERS
#RP120732-P2 - $279,532.00 (08/31/2012 - 08/30/2017)
- Grant funding from CPRIT
- The goals of this project are to define NR and CoReg expression profiles in breast tumor clinical subtypes, cell lines, and primary human tumor xenografts in immunocompromised mice and to evaluate the efficacy of targeting specific overexpressed NRs and CoRegs for therapeutic intervention in breast cancer growth and survival
