In partnership with Queen's University Belfast · Belfast, Northern Ireland
PinkRibbon International is proud to support pioneering breast cancer prevention research at Queen's University Belfast, led by Professors Nick Orr and Kienan Savage — internationally recognised researchers in cancer genetics — working to transform our understanding of breast cancer risk and stop the disease before it starts.
Every year, millions of women worldwide face uncertainty about their risk of developing breast cancer. Professor Nick Orr and his team are investigating the genetic mechanisms that drive the disease — helping to answer why some women are at far greater risk than others, and how breast cancer takes hold in the first place.
Their programme combines cutting-edge science to pinpoint the genetic changes that influence risk and reveal new opportunities for prevention. The knowledge it generates can sharpen risk prediction, inform prevention strategies, and open the door to more personalised, preventative healthcare — with 85% of every dollar going directly to the research.
What this research could deliver: earlier identification of women at increased risk, improved prevention and risk-prediction strategies, new therapeutic and intervention targets, and better long-term outcomes for future generations.
