Dr. Emma Nolan is working on a project to create a better model for breast cancer research in New Zealand. She is using tissue samples from women with breast cancer to make patient-derived explants. These explants will be used to test new treatments for breast cancer, including immunotherapy. The goal is to create a model that better represents the breast cancer found in New Zealand and to help develop better treatments for patients. The project aims to create a collection of explants that will be useful for improving the drug development process and personalizing treatment for patients.
