IMPACT IS RESEARCH +

We Bring Together and Fund the Best Innovators 

Research in silos is ineffective.  Our initiatives not only fund some of the most promising researchers, but also create programs bringing key medical professionals together to agree upon road maps with explicit coordinated milestones.  Required research community consensus, priorities and funding needs are addressed comprehensively. .

Background on Breast Cancer Research and Treatment:
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment provides the surgeon, radiotherapist, medical oncologist, endocrinologist, epidemiologist, immunologist or cell biologist investigating problems in breast cancer a single forum for communication. The journal creates a "market place" for breast cancer topics which cuts across all the usual lines of disciplines, providing a site for presenting pertinent investigations, and for discussing critical questions relevant to the entire field. It seeks to develop a new focus and new perspectives for all those concerned with breast cancer.
