Research Collaborations

FORCE has an acknowledged outstanding record of collaborating with researchers. We are uniquely positioned to provide important input into the direction, implementation, recruitment, and ethical aspects of research and we can facilitate teamwork between different institutions and stakeholders. Through resarch collaborations, FORCE helps to identify and expedite research that will best serve individuals and families affected by hereditary cancers. Below are highlights from two of our research collaborations.

Basser Research Center for BRCA

FORCE is partnering with the Basser Research Center for BRCA, the first-of-its-kind center within Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Basser focuses on BRCA1 and BRCA2 outreach, prevention, early detection,treatment and survivorship. Our collaboration with Basser will strengthen ties between people coping with BRCA-related issues and the Penn researchers and physicians devoted to finding new ways to prevent and treat BRCA-related cancers.
