OHSU researchers have developed a new molecule that offers a promising avenue to treat intractable cases of triple-negative breast cancer. Sanjay Malhotra, Ph.D., says, “We're very excited. The good part is it is not at the discovery stage. Discovery is already done, and discovery has led to this exciting outcome. Now it's at the development stage, which is where we need resources to bring it to clinic."
