Advanced Processing for Biomedical Informatics (APBI)

Abstract

A research consortium including Windber Research Institute (WRI), the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC), the Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center (JMBCC), and the Clinical Breast Care Project (CBCP) Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) has been formed to evaluate the use of minimally-invasive methods for screening including mammography, ultrasound, proteomics and genomics, in the serum and breast for early detection of markers for risk of disease or early presence of disease and to facilitate early intervention in medical treatment or lifestyle. The approach focuses on the continuing development/aging that the female breast undergoes through life and its potential sensitivity to environmental and lifestyle factors, particularly as they interact with specific genetic factors.
