• Classic and pleomorphic lobular carcinoma
    Defining the molecular genetic signature of the pleomorphic variant using high-resolution comparative genomic hybridisation, microarray-based comparative genomic hybridisation and chromogenic in situ hybridisation.
  • Metaplastic breast carcinomas
    Analysing the immunohistochemical and molecular genetic features of metaplastic breast carcinomas with the main goal to define a new and more clinically and biologically significant taxonomy system for these lesions.
  • Basal-like carcinomas
    Analysing the biological and clinical impacts of BRCA1 inactivation in basal-like carcinomas.
  • Other special types of breast carcinoma
    Correlating amplification of specific oncogenes and loss of tumour suppressor genes and the pathological characteristics of breast carcinomas and identifying putative therapeutic targets for these lesions.
