On-Demand Webinar:

Preclinical Solutions for Drug Development Targeting Advanced Breast Cancer

Despite the rapid development of new oncology therapies, there is a high unmet need for advanced and aggressive forms of breast cancer. Metastatic breast cancers are still incurable and there is a major need for effective treatments of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the highly heterogeneous and complex nature of breast cancer has made it challenging to model these different disease subtypes and stages in preclinical research.

In our webinar Dr. Rajendra Kumari will provide an overview of the therapeutic landscape of breast cancer and highlight optimal models and tools to implement in preclinical studies targeting advanced breast cancers.

Watch this webinar to learn about:

• Key advantages and limitations of current breast cancer preclinical models, focusing on ER⁺/Her2^-, Her2⁺, and TNBC
  
  
• Unique in vitro and in vivo solutions for drug development targeting advanced breast cancer. Panels of patient-derived models for more translational and clinically relevant data, as well as biomarker identification
  
  
• Modelling metastasis with preclinical imaging, recapitulating the TME and investigating mechanisms of resistance
