Petra den Hollander is an Assistant Professor at Brown University, specializing in the research of triple-negative breast cancers. Her research includes understanding the aggressiveness of these cancers and identifying targets to overcome resistance mechanisms. During her graduate training, she focused on the identification of protein complexes that are crucial for breast cancer growth and estrogen hypersensitivity. Dr. den Hollander's postdoctoral research featured a collaboration at the Bioinformatics Research Lab at Baylor College of Medicine, where she contributed to the development of a high-throughput sequencing technique that aids in discovering genetic alterations in cancer. She has also worked at the Department of Clinical Cancer Prevention at MD Anderson Cancer Center, utilizing preclinical animal models to devise new strategies for the prevention and treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. Currently, her research is directed towards elucidating the underlying mechanisms of induction and maintenance of cancer stem cells and using single-cell 'omics' techniques to identify successful treatment targets.
