The Health Research Council of New Zealand, Breast Cancer Cure and Breast Cancer Foundation NZ are pleased to announce that funding has been offered to the following recipients through the Breast Cancer Research in New Zealand initiative. This fifth call for proposals was about identifying potential targeted and immune therapies for breast cancer, with a focus on targeted treatments, aspects of early detection, prognostic and predictive diagnoses, or preventative therapies.

This partnership initiated in 2014 has funded $3.2M of projects over five years, through a total of 17 projects across many researchers and institutions directly and through collaboration. These projects have the potential to improve treatment of the disease, quality of life and survivorship while raising local research capability and knowledge and potential economic returns.
