Brunie Felding Wins Breast Cancer Research Grant

Brunhilde (“Brunie”) Felding, associate professor in the Departments of Chemical Physiology and Molecular and Experimental Medicine at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), has won a three-year Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) Idea Award - Partnering PI Option, funded by the U.S. Department of Defense under the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. 

BCRP Idea Awards support promising research that has extraordinary potential to yield highly impactful data and new avenues of investigation—innovative research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements to accelerate the eradication of breast cancer. 

Felding will partner with Gary Siuzdak, TSRI’s professor of chemistry, molecular and computational biology and senior director of the Center for Metabolomics, on the project “Metabolomic Imaging of Early Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis to Identify Targets for Prevention.”
