Noreen Murphy-Coakley

Noreen Murphy-Coakley is based at Cork University Hospital and plays an important role in delivering the PRISM clinical study.

PRISM focuses on people whose breast cancer has spread to the brain. The study examines the genetic characteristics of these tumours to identify changes that may be clinically actionable — meaning there may be a treatment capable of targeting that particular change.

By supporting the delivery of PRISM in Cork, Noreen is helping patients participate in this important research while enabling researchers to build a clearer picture of breast cancer brain metastases across Ireland.

Why This Research Matters

Every breast cancer is different. By understanding the specific genetic changes within an individual patient’s cancer, researchers hope to identify treatments that are more precisely matched to their disease.

Bringing patients, clinicians and researchers together across Ireland helps accelerate progress. Together, we can Rewrite the Future
