Caring for breast cancer patients. This includes patients with noninvasive and invasive early breast cancer; patients who require hormonal and chemotherapy in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant setting; locally advanced breast cancer patients; and patients at high risk for breast cancer due to premalignant breast lesions or strong family history.
Dr. Welsh's research focuses on the study of cell cycle progression through the G1 phase and its regulation by growth factor receptors and adhesion to the extracellular matrix. The Welsh laboratory is investigating the pathways underlying such autonomous growth in breast cancer cells and studying strategies designed to suppress these malignant properties.
