The Komen Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only normal breast tissue biorepository of its kind in the world.
Cancer researchers use this tissue to characterize the molecular and genetic basis of normal breast development and compare it to the different types of breast cancer.
I continue to be awed and inspired by the women who willingly give a piece of themselves for breast cancer research.
