We realized that if one could put these molecules in a screening platform, (we) might develop a non-invasive, quick and inexpensive over-the-counter breast cancer screening test.

If this is successful, this could lead to a quick, non-invasive and inexpensive test that could be widely dispersed over the counter to bring breast cancer screening even to people who don't have expensive health plans.

We are very excited about getting this grant without having had too much real exposure to breast cancer research.
