Center
Project One: Biology
Environmental Effects on the Molecular Architecture and Function of
the Mammary Gland across the Lifespan
In this project we are conducting studies on normal mammary glands at the
molecular, cellular and organ level in mice that parallel the steps in the
development of cancer. Models for breast cancer development will be used to
understand how environmental factors regulate cell behavior during development
and conversion to cancer.
