Major Proposed Activities
To make a drug that kills breast cancer stem cells
Impact
Metastatic breast cancer is incurable. The goal is to make a drug leading to cures
Major Proposed Activities
- Make a novel drug that potentially more effectively treats breast cancer with less toxicity
- Test the drug for efficacy and toxicity
Statement of Benefit to California:
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Once it has spread, breast cancer is not curable. If this project is successful, it will be the foundation for the advancement of a new, less toxic, potentially curative breast cancer drug to the women of California.
