The Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer Research Laboratories at IU Cancer Center focuses on preventing, treating and curing breast cancer.

Vera Bradley Foundation Center for Breast Cancer Research

A vibrant research community targeting hard-to-treat breast cancers

The Vera Bradley Foundation Center for Breast Cancer Research at Indiana University School of Medicine is home to a multidisciplinary team of research physicians and laboratory scientists pushing the boundaries of modern medicine to spread hope and find a cure.

We’re learning how and why breast cancer develops, how it behaves at different stages of life, and how it uniquely affects different racial and ethnic groups.

We’re creating new technologies, crafting highly customized therapies, and helping patients avoid the life-altering side effects that often result from standard treatment.

Because we know that #ResearchCuresCancer.
