The Karaayvaz Lab’s main research focus is to understand the early events in breast cancer development in high-risk patients. We employ state-of-the-art single cell and imaging approaches to dissect molecular heterogeneity in pre-malignant and malignant lesions of the breast. Our goal is to leverage the knowledge gained from these studies and develop innovative strategies for breast cancer chemoprevention and treatment.
