LBCA, in partnership with the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), is excited to award its two new AACR-Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance – Deborah Mueller Foundation Invasive Lobular Carcinoma Innovation and Discovery Grant awards to:
- Julia Houthuijzen from the Netherlands Cancer Institute-Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital (NKI-AVL) and
- Carolina Reduzzi from Weill Medical College of Cornell University.
The two recipients of these two one-year $50,000 ILC research grants will focus one on studying ex vivo human ILC cultures to develop personalized ILC treatments and the other on comprehensive liquid biopsies to decipher lobular breast cancer metastasis. These are the first two of three ILC research grants that were funded this year by the Deborah Mueller Foundation in memory of LBCA board member Deborah Mueller who passed away precipitously in early 2023 from metastatic lobular breast cancer.
