Foundation Description
Dr. Susan Love Foundation for Breast Cancer Research drives collaborative, cutting-edge research with nontraditional partners, primarily focused on fulfilling our mission of achieving a future without breast cancer and improving the lives of people impacted by it now. Many of the projects the Foundation undertakes are designed to increase our understanding of the human breast and what enables malignancy to occur, with the ultimate goal of developing methods to prevent it. We actively engage the public in our scientific research to ensure that it produces accurate and meaningful results. The Love Research Army, formerly the Army of Women, has served as a vital resource for breast cancer research for over 10 years. This year, in order to better reflect our longstanding commitment to fostering inclusive research, we rebranded the Army of Women as Love Research Army. Men, women, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and non-binary people all get breast cancer. We are excited to be moving into a new decade with a name that reflects the desire and intent to include everyone in the research pool to study and end breast cancer once and for all.
