Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
We are hoping to find a cure for breast cancer and will continue raising funds and awareness of our cause until this objective has been met. Breast cancer prevention and treatment have been greatly improved because of past Lynn Sage Scholar's work.
Project Message
Thank you for your support...We are in the process of finding genes that are responsible for breast cancer and creating a model that will predict risk of breast cancer based on genetic tests.
- Dr. Kaklamani, Current Lynn Sage Scholar
