Fellowship to Study the Involvement of Heat Shock Proteins in Drug Resistance in Human Breast Cancer.

Abstract

Heat shock proteins (hsps) are induced in cells in response to environmental stresses. It has been shown that some breast cancer patients express high levels of hsp27, which may augment the aggressiveness of these tumors and make them more resistant to treatment. The research funded by this fellowship is directed at understanding the regulation of hsp27 toward the development of a useful therapy for inhibiting breast cancer progression.
