Breast Cancer Research Council Members

To continue to fund innovative research, the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP), the largest state-funded breast cancer research effort in the nation, must rely on an advisory committee. The committee, the Breast Cancer Research Council (BCRC), is responsible for tracking the trends and opportunities for progress that arise in the breast cancer community, making funding recommendations, and planning future directions of the CBCRP. The BCRC is made up of 15 people selected to represent those affected by breast cancer and the institutions that can help find a solution.
