Marissa N. Rylander, PhD.

The University of Texas

The project will develop the first Breast-Skin microfluidic experimental platform to dynamically and spatially measure cancer cell invasion into the dermal layer, skin lymphatics, and breast vasculature characteristic of IBC. This platform will be employed to determine the cellular components and tissue properties that drive IBC cancer cell migration to enable development of potential treatments and preventive strategies.

7th international inflammatory breast cancer symposium

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

This two-day meeting is targeted for clinical investigators, physicians, basic researchers, nurses, patient advocates and institutions aiming to pioneer IBC clinics in their geographic regions, to enhance their knowledge and to facilitate collaboration to accelerate clinical therapy and research trial development beneficial for patients with IBC. We expect new ideas and collaborations from this meeting to lead to improvement of disease outcome, such as survival or tumor response, over the next 3 years.
