Strengthened by community and engineering partnerships, Annette Khaled furthers her work with the promising peptide Z-TOP that disrupts cancer cells to keep them from spreading.

As the nation recognizes October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, here is how 91³Ô¹ÏÍø researchers are helping better understand and treat the disease.

The method could detect metastatic cancer, which spreads throughout the body, earlier.

Annette Khaled, a College of Medicine professor and the head of the Division of Cancer Research at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø discusses her expertise and explains some of the biggest mysteries of breast cancer that we’re still trying to solve.

Recognized by Faculty Excellence, the 2021 honorees have not wavered in their commitments as mentors, role models, friends, researchers and teachers.

Due to COVID-19 and social distancing, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø students had to alter plans to defend their thesis — when they present and answer questions about their research — to earn their graduate degrees.

A discovery at the College of Medicine may in the future help detect cancer cells in patients before these cells have a chance to metastasize or spread through the body.

91³Ô¹ÏÍø ranks 31st among public universities in the nation and has been among the top 100 in the world for the past five years.

Saturday’s AutoNation Cure Bowl has raised $3.55 million for breast cancer research in the last three years – with over $1.1 million going to College…
