Research
Human Breast Cancer Anti-Hormonal Resistance: Dr. Sgroi has shown that gene expression alterations are powerful predictors of breast cancer outcome and therapeutic response. His laboratory has focused on determining the clinical utility of the HOXB13:IL17BR and MGI biomarkers in estrogen receptor-positive, lymph node negative breast cancer patients, and understanding the molecular functional role of HOXB13 and IL17BR as it relates to anti-hormonal therapeutic response. Dr. Sgroi is also affiliated with the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center’s Breast Cancer and Cancer Genetics programs. Find more information on the Sgroi Lab website.
