Examination of the Role of Membrane Type-1 Matrix Metalloproteinase (MTI-MMP) in Breast Cancer Metastasis
Abstract
This postdoctoral research training grant entitled "examination of the role of membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) in breast cancer metastasis" was initiated in August 1998 and terminated in July 2001. This grant provided Dr. Cao with a great opportunity to be trained to fight the war against breast cancer. Reviewing the progress of the past three years, Dr. Cao reached the goals that he originally proposed. His work during the last three years was highly recognized in the field as demonstrated by several awards including a Young Investigator award and Scholar-in-Training award from American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and by his publications. During the training period, Dr. Cao was promoted to a Research Assistant Professor which fulfills the goal that Dr. Cao initially proposed of becoming an independent scientist. Dr. Cao is very appreciative of the US Army Medical Research and Material Command committee for providing him with such a training opportunity in a highly competitive field.
