Award for research on genetic determinants of radiation-associated breast cancer using the WECARE Study, funded by NIH/NCI with $723,291.
Description
This project aims to identify genetic determinants of radiation-associated breast cancer and develop risk estimation models. It leverages the WECARE Study, a multi-site population-based case-control study, and involves whole exome sequencing and functional screening to classify variants. The project is funded by the NIH/NCI with a total award amount of $723,291 for fiscal year 2026.
