New Team Joins the Breakthrough Research Unit, Manchester

Professor Göran Landberg, joins us as the first team leader of the new Breakthrough Research Unit, at the University of Manchester. By using a molecular pathology based approach, his team will identify and target cell cycle regulators and associated pathways that govern key features in the progression of early breast disease with altered tissue organisation, to infiltrative breast cancer with various aggressive properties including resistance to different therapies.

“I am really looking forward to starting work at the new Breakthrough Research Unit in Manchester,” says Professor Landberg. “I place a strong emphasis on carrying out research that is directly relevant to breast cancer patients, so I am very pleased that the unit is so well located, right next to the Manchester Breast Centre”.
