“There is not a lot of attention on the fact that men can get breast cancer too. We investigate the development of cancer in male mice, and the role of hormones, for example, on malignant duct transformation. It gives us new insights into male mammary gland biology and mechanisms of cancer progression that may translate to a broader range of breast cancers in the clinic.”
“When I looked at one of the tissue samples for my research, I noticed a big piece of skin that was still on top of the mammary gland. It looked pretty cool, this 3D landscape with all that depth. To be honest, all of my coolest images are from other structures than the ducts I study, although ducts are beautiful too.”
