  Treating breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain is an extreme challenge because most drugs are not able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). About one in three patients with HER2+ or triple negative breast cancer will develop brain metastases, which leads to high morbidity and mortalities.

• Advancing Mammography with Protein-Biomarkers
  Currently, about 10% of women who undergo mammograms have a false-positive result, leading to additional tests, including invasive biopsies. We’re developing a blood test to be administered at the time of breast imaging that could reduce the number of women who are encouraged to get biopsies but do not ultimately have breast cancer.

Current methods of treating breast milk, such as lyophilization and spray drying, fail to preserve essential nutrients. Our team, which combines medical, nutritional, and scientific expertise, is comparing current methods with novel gas extrusion...
