The new cancer research happening out of Dalhousie combines new technology and collaborates with multiple disciplines.
Dr. Paola Marignani is the researcher working out of the Dalhousie lab who received the grant to pursue this new breast cancer research over the next three years.
Dr. Marignani says the research focuses on why some women diagnosed with a specific type of breast cancer, HER2-positive breast cancer, respond favourably to treatment while others do not.
“This new technology allows us to disassemble the breast tumor and sequence the DNA from each individual cell, and by doing this, we get a very large amount of information about an individual’s breast cancer,” she told CityNews.
Researchers then utilize machine learning and artificial intelligence to break down the massive amount of information gained from the tumor cells.
