Over the past decades a tremendous progress has been achieved in understanding the genetic and molecular causes of cancer. Despite this success, many fundamental biological questions remain unsolved. In addition to study cancer genes or proteins individually, it is also important to understand how cancer genes and proteins function together and how their cellular networks are affected in or contribute to cellular transformation. Our research group is developing and applying experimental bioinformatic approaches to better understand molecular networks involved in breast cancer.
