Congratulations to Dr Marion Hartmann of NUIG - winner of Breast Cancer Ireland's inaugural Breast Cancer Research Fellowship.
Within her application she concurred with strategies being adopted by Breast Cancer Ireland in the identification and characterisation of cancerous tumours at a cellular level and the correlation of this information into groups that could benefit from treatment and those for whom treatment would be unsuitable. This she advised would help to individualise therapy and thereby reduce costs.
Dr Hartmann welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with RCSI in the use of a more extended biobank of tissue samples thereby guaranteeing her more concise and more effective results. Breast Cancer Ireland wishes Dr Hartmann every success in this important undertaking.
