New $5.1 Million Grant for Einstein-Developed Tests for Breast Cancer Metastasis

August 14, 2020—(BRONX, NY)—Researchers atAlbert Einstein College of Medicine have received a five-year, $5.1 million grant from the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, to further evaluate novel tests that Einstein researchers have developed for predicting whether primary breast tumors are likely to spread. Such tests can help prevent unnecessary overtreatment and also identify cases that need more aggressive therapy. The principal investigators on the grant areThomas Rohan, M.B.B.S., Ph.D., D.H.Sc., professor and chair of epidemiology& population health at Einstein and Montefiore Health System, andJohn Condeelis, Ph.D., professor and co-chair of anatomy and structural biology at Einstein.
