Exploring Molecular Insights into Male Breast Cancer
Dr. Meenakshi Anurag will lead this session, sharing findings from her recent study on male breast cancer, a rare but critical area of research. Using multi-omics and big data analysis, Dr. Anurag’s work delves into the molecular heterogeneity of male breast cancer, identifying key genetic mutations and proteomic markers that could inform more personalized treatment approaches. Join us to discuss these important translational findings and their potential impact on the male breast cancer community.

Meenakshi Anurag, Ph.D.Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine, Baylor College of MedicineDr. Meenakshi Anurag’s research focuses on improving cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survival through precision data science. With over seven years of bioinformatics experience, she investigates the molecular diversity of cancers, including rare types like male breast cancer, using multi-omics and big data analysis.
Her work has revealed DNA damage repair defects as drivers of endocrine treatment resistance in breast cancer. She is also exploring immune tolerance factors in therapy-resistant, estrogen receptor-positive cancers, integrating genomic and clinical data to uncover new therapeutic strategies.
