Transforming Breast Cancer Care Through Science and Innovation

The Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) is the first initiative at the Champalimaud Foundation to fully integrate clinical practice with scientific research. By fostering a seamless fusion of patient care and biomedical research, the BCRP empowers clinicians, researchers, and patients to become partners in science—enhancing the lives of people affected by cancer.
