FOCUS ON SCIENCE:

The road to personalized medicine: Identifying therapeutic agents effective against subpopulations of breast cancers

Laura M. Heiser, Ph.D.,  Scientist

Life Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

 

Breast cancer is an extremely heterogeneous disease in which individuals show a varied array of genomic and proteomic aberrations that can be used to classify breast cancers into different classes.  These classes have been shown to respond very differently to treatments.  In order to determine the types of breast cancers that may best respond to particular therapies, we conducted a high-throughput drug screen on a panel of breast cancer cell lines.  Using this approach, we have identified several therapeutics that show a class-specific bias, indicating that they would be effective at treating particular subpopulations of breast cancer patients.
