Functioning as a consortium of basic scientists, epidemiologists, research translational units, community outreach experts, and community advocates within and across centers, BCERC is investigating mammary gland development in animals and young girls to determine vulnerability to environmental agents that may influence breast cancer development in adulthood. A major outcome of the BCERC is to develop public health messages designed to educate young girls and women who are at high risk of breast cancer about the role(s) of specific environmental stressors in breast cancer and how to reduce exposures to those stressors. These public health messages will be based on the integration of the basic biological, toxicological, and epidemiologic data.
