The mission
Engineering the future of breast cancer prevention.
Every year, millions of women worldwide face uncertainty about their risk of developing breast cancer. Professor Nick Orr and his team are investigating the genetic mechanisms that drive the disease — helping to answer why some women are at far greater risk than others, and how breast cancer takes hold in the first place.
Precision genome engineering
Editing the genome with precision to test how specific variants shape breast cancer risk.
Functional genomics
Turning genetic data into mechanism — revealing how risk genes actually drive the disease.
Early-disease-detection research
Finding the earliest biological signatures of breast cancer, long before symptoms appear.
Personalised risk prediction
Building risk models tuned to the individual — so prevention meets women where they are.
